The Chhattisgarh High Court, on 4th January 2021, in the matter of “Bhagwat Joshi v. State of Chhattisgarh [Cr.M.P.No.1395 of 2020]”, observed that, “The Condition for grant of bail should not be stringent, as it would violate the accused’s Right of Personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution of India.” Remarked, “Conditions imposed for Bail should be Reasonable and Non-Stringent, so as to not amount to Denial of Bail violating the accused’s Right to Personal Liberty”. The High Court here was listening to petition filed by an accused seeking to lower the conditions for bail as it was beyond the scope of his financial position to produce the initially demanded amount.
