Showing contexts for: Excessive bail in Gajanan Dattatray Gore vs The State Of Maharashtra on 28 July, 2025Matching Fragments
17. Respondent No.1 as and by way of an after thought, is attempting to renege by contending the said bail condition to deposit amount, to be onerous. Such practice has been deprecated by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Kundan Singh vs. The Superintendent of CGST and Central Excise. In paras 8, 9, 10 & 11 the Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed as under:-
"8. There cannot be any dispute that excessive bail is no bail and onerous conditions ought not to be imposed while bail is granted. As to what is an onerous condition would no doubt depend on the facts and circumstances of the individual case. What is troubling however, is when attempts are made to foreclose consideration of bail application on merits by voluntarily offering deposits of amounts and thereafter reneging on it by stating that a counsel had no authority and/or that the condition is onerous.
