Hindu Editorial Vocab On a Reminder of the Fundamentals of Bail Law

The Supreme Court of India’s order granting (An amount of money given especially by the government to a person or organization for a special purpose) bail to Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is a reminder to judges that they cannot deny bail as a form of punishment. It is also a reminder that the fundamentals of bail law are quite simple. Where a case turns mainly on documentary (a film or television or radio programme that gives facts and information about a subject) evidence, bail is the norm, and it is to be denied only if the suspect is a flight risk and is unlikely to appear before the court for trial, or is in a position to influence witnesses(a person who sees an event happening, especially a crime or an accident) and tamper with evidence. The possibility of the trial not beginning anytime soon or that it may be a protracted (lasting for a long time or made to last longer than necessary) one is also a circumstance warranting (to make a particular activity necessary) grant of bail. In times when Opposition political leaders are targeted and investigative agencies have no compunction about being seen as branches of the ruling party, the mere act of releasing a person on conditional bail after giving enough time for the completion of the investigation (the act or process of examining a crime, problem, statement, etc. carefully, especially to discover the truth) is seen as something extraordinary. In the Delhi liquor policy case, Mr. Sisodia was arrested by the CBI and then the Enforcement Directorate in early 2023. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s turn came this year, but he managed to get interim bail in the ED’s case money-laundering charges, while he is still in custody in connection with the CBI’s corruption case.

The order of Justices B.R. Gavai and K.V. Viswanathan has done more than pave the way for Mr. Sisodia’s release after nearly a year-and-a-half in prison. It has foregrounded (the people, objects, countryside, etc. in a picture or photograph that seem nearest to you and form its main part) the principle that the rigours of a bail-denying law, the Prevention of Money Laundering (to wash, dry, and iron clothes, sheets, etc) Act in this case, need not stand in the way of a person’s conditional release if there is a prolonged delay in the trial proceedings. It has also brought under focus the tendency among some judges to “play safe”. The Bench has rightly highlighted the tendency among some judges to ignore the principle that bail is the rule, and not the exception. In Mr. Sisodia’s case, based on the ED’s assurance that the trial would be complete within six to eight months, the Court had allowed him to apply for bail again if the trial progresses (movement to an improved or more developed state, or to a forward position) too slowly or is protracted. This was on October 30, 2023. However, both the trial court and the Delhi High Court paid no heed to the Supreme Court’s pointed reference to the need for speedy trial, but dismissed his application on merits and claimed that any delay in the commencement of the trial was attributable to the various petitions he has filed. Judges should guard against a likely loss of public trust in the judiciary’s ability to protect the liberty of citizens and ensure fair trial without prolonged and needless pre-trial imprisonment.
