SC Orders not to impose conditions which are irrelevant for exercise of power under provisions of Anticipatory Bail.
1. Facts: While considering the appellant's bail application, the High Court imposed a condition that the appellant should pay Rs. 4,000 per month as maintenance to the respondent. The appellant challenged this condition, arguing that it was irrelevant to the bail proceedings.
2. Court’s Observation: The Supreme Court agreed with the appellant's argument and held that imposing a maintenance payment as a bail condition was not warranted. The Court emphasized that bail conditions should focus on ensuring the appellant's presence for trial, not on unrelated matters like maintenance.
3. Final Decision: The Supreme Court quashed the maintenance condition imposed by the High Court but stated that the appellant must still remain available for trial. It directed the Trial Court to set appropriate bail conditions for the appellant.
