Why Bail if rule and jail is exception.

“There is no gainsaying that under Indian law “bail is the rule and jail is an exception” is etched in the ethos of criminal jurisprudence. This rule stems from the fact that criminal law presumes a person to be innocent unless proven otherwise. Meaning that generally an under-trial prisoner ought not be placed behind bars indefinitely unless there is clear threat to society, influencing witnesses/inquiry or he is a flight risk etc. This rule also ensures that process is also not made punishment, wherein a person is jailed for very many years pending trial. Bail under the Code is a qualified right of an accused before conviction, wherein the accused is not guaranteed bail, rather it puts onus on the prosecution to establish as to why the under-trial prisoner should not be enlarged on bail. Any deviation in the above proposition is constitutionally circumspect”, the Court observed.

It added, “This brings us to the right to speedy trial which is an inseparable facet of Article 21 of the Constitution. Where delay in investigation or trial is such that incarceration becomes unduly prolonged, the constitutional guarantee of fairness is irreparably compromised.

1st principles of criminal law.

William Blackstone famously said, “It is better to let ten guilty people go free than to condemn one innocent person wrongfully.” The same has been translated into the legal maxim “Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat”, which says, “The burden of proof lies on the one who declares, not on the one who denies.”.

Many recent bills are reflection of only sensational news but some have taken inspiration from judgments ehich hardly anyone focused such as Legislative Review to reduce burden of judicial review.

It mandates all ministey to review their enactments after certian period whereas we have law commision and special ad hoc commisions some times which focuses primarily on overall broad legal soectrum or certain particular ossues ehich are not organised and yet they are not taken into consideration due to lack of moral mandate which will be present in ministerial level.

However it should not replace independent law commision.

Choochak ceremony is when maternal side brings gifts for a newborn baby.

Satvir Singh v. State of Punjab (2001) 8 SCC 633, where the Supreme Court observed,
"there are three occasions related to dowry. One is before the marriage, second is at the time of marriage and the third is at any time after the marriage. The third occasion may appear to be an unending period. But the crucial words are in connection with the marriage of the said parties. This means that giving or agreeing to give any property or valuable security on any of the above three stages should have been in connection with the marriage of the parties. There can be many other instances for payment of money or giving property as between the spouses. For example, some customary payments in connection with birth of a child or other ceremonies are prevalent in different societies. Such payments are not enveloped within the ambit of dowry. Hence the dowry mentioned in Section 304B should be any property or valuable security given or agreed to be given in connection with the marriage."

What is the title of this ceremony in your family?

Rameshwar Prasad
v.
Union of India
(2006),
while deliberating upon the legality of the Governor recommending Presidential rule in Bihar, underscored that the personal immunity guaranteed under Article 361 of the Constitution extends to the exercise and performance of all or any powers and duties by him. It added that such immunity also extends to cases where “allegations of personal mala-fides” (crime not related to duty) have been made against the Governor.

Ram Naresh Yadav
Vs.
State of M.P.
2015.
FIR quashed, but police can record statements of governor related to the offence against co-accused, with all dignity and respect it is due to the fact that the same time the immunity and privilege extended to the Governor will not impair or whittle down the powers of the
policeto investigate the criminal case registered against other accused who cannot claim such privilege and in the process.

Ram Kumar Pandey v. State of M.P., AIR 1975 SC 1026, noting that a material omission to disclose the accused's identity, despite being informed of their name and particulars, can be fatal to the prosecution. Such an omission, the Court observed, renders the fact relevant under Section 11 of the Evidence Act as it directly affects the probability of the prosecution's case.

In the FIR eye witness disclosed every detail in chronology eith minute details of timing coming of two men taking away man cries heard but she disclosed not in FIR but in 161 that due to illness could not disclose name of one slipped masked man whom she also identified by voice this is a material ommission and therefore prosecution could not prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.

Section 9 BSA
facts relvant if by themselves or in connection with other facts they make the existence or non-existence of any fact in issue or relevant fact highly probable or improbable.

Article 21 coupled with polce act of particular state obliges police to protect the life of citizens and order security whenever so required.

Court made a reference to the Supreme Court case of Lata Singh v. State of UP & Anr. in which it was held that live-in relationships between two consensual adults of heterogenic sex did not amount to any offence.

Further reference was made to the case of 

Nandakumar & Anr. v The State of Kerala &

Ors., in which the Supreme Court handled an identical situation, and observed that marriage between two adults wherein the man was below of 21 years, was not void but voidable. However, such couples had the right to live together even outside the wedlock since live-in relationships were recognized by the legislature itself.

Facts: Family members threatening the live-in couples.

Practice of everytime calling all witnesses at once for cross examination is unjust exercise of discretion which again is not explicitly given.

the Supreme Court in 

State of Kerala v. Rasheed, (2019) ,

identified certain considerations that guide a court while exercising such a discretion to defer under Section 231(2), CrPC (corresponding to Section 254(3), BNSS). These include:
1. risk of undue influence threats to a witness,
2. possibility that later 
witnssses may tailor 
testimony,
3. danger of memory loss in a witness whose chief examination is already complete,
4. likelihood of trial delay or non-availability of witnesses if sequencing is disturbed.
