I.GLASKASDEN GRACE vs INSPECTOR OF POLICE

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Punjab & Haryana High Court's order granting anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court found the conditions imposed by the High Court, requiring the deposit of title deeds worth Rs. 20,00,000 and a personal bond of Rs. 25,000, to be unreasonable and a fetter on the right to bail. The Court held that such onerous conditions cannot be imposed while granting anticipatory bail, thereby allowing the appeal and setting aside the High Court's order.
