THE STATE VS SARZAMAN
Summary: (a) Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898) –
---- S. 497(1) & S. 497(5) – Bail cancellation – Judicial discretion – Health condition as a ground for bail – Trial court’s power to reconsider bail – The accused had previously been denied bail by the High Court, which had examined all relevant facts, including his medical condition – The Sessions Court subsequently granted bail, ostensibly disregarding the earlier decision – Held, rejection of bail once on medical grounds does not permanently preclude future consideration if health deteriorates – However, any fresh plea on such grounds should have been addressed to the same Court that had initially rejected the bail, rather than the Sessions Court assuming jurisdiction over the matter – The trial Judge, in granting bail, had overstepped legal propriety by reassessing medical grounds already ruled upon by a higher Court – The tendency of trial courts to act on compassion rather than strict legal principles is discouraged – However, the Sessions Judge’s error was condoned as an instance of misjudgment rather than impropriety.
(b) Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898) –
---- S. 497(1) – Bail on medical grounds – Accused suffering from Ischaemic Heart Disease – Medical records dating back a decade confirmed a deteriorating cardiac condition – Latest medical prescriptions indicated a worsening state, necessitating surgery – The accused had remained compliant with bail conditions and had not attempted to misuse his liberty or influence witnesses – Held, in view of standard prognosis of cardiac disease and absence of misconduct on bail, cancellation of bail was not warranted – Petition for revocation of bail dismissed.
(c) Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898) –
---- S. 497(1) – Bail of co-accused – The co-accused had been granted bail on the ground that no significant role was attributed to him in the alleged offence – The prosecution failed to present any evidence justifying cancellation of bail – Petition for revocation of bail of co-accused dismissed.
----Disposition: Petition for bail cancellation dismissed.
