Talat Sanvi vs State Of Jharkhand

The Supreme Court examined whether interim victim compensation can be imposed as a condition for anticipatory bail. It held that such compensation cannot form part of bail conditions, as established by previous pronouncements of the Court. The Court emphasized that bail should be granted based on the nature of offences and the individual's capacity, not on monetary deposits or compensation. The impugned orders requiring victim compensation as a bail condition were set aside, reaffirming the legal stance against such conditions.
