N.JOTHI vs ADDL.DIRECTOR GEN.OF POLICE

The Supreme Court addressed the imposition of a deposit condition in anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC, ruling that such a condition was unnecessary for a sitting Member of Parliament accused under Sections 109, 409, 420 IPC and the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court modified the bail conditions, removing the deposit requirement and substituting it with a bond of Rs. 25,000 with surety. The order of the High Court was upheld in other respects, leading to the disposal of the appeals favorably for the appellant.
