20. The law with regard to imposition of any kind of unreasonable or onerous condition is no longer res integra. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Guddan alias Roop Narayan Vs. State of Rajasthan(Supra) observed that when the High Court imposed the excessive condition of deposit of Rs. 1,00,000/- along with surety of another Rs. 1,00,000/- and two further bail bonds of Rs. 50,000/- each, it was considered as excessive condition of bail imposed by the High Court and it was held that the excessive condition in fact in practical manifestation acted as a refusal to grant of bail. The fact that the appellant was not able to pay the amount and in default thereof is still languishing in jail is sufficient indication that he was not able to make up the amount.
