Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre vs State Of Maharashtra And Ors on 2 December, 2010
5. Law with regard to grant of bail is now well
settled. The Apex Court in Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre
versus State of Maharashtra and others, (2011) 1 SCC 694,
while relying upon its decision rendered by its Constitution
Bench in Gurbaksh Singh Sibbia vs. State of Punjab, (1980)
2 SCC 565, laid down the following parameters for grant of
bail:- r
"111. No inflexible guidelin es or straitjacket
formula can be provided for grant or refusal of
anticipatory bail. We are clearly of the view that
no attempt should be made to provide rigid and
inflexible guidelines in this respect because all
circumstances and situations of future cannot be
clearly visualized for the grant or refusal of
anticipatory bail. In consonance with the
legislative intention the grant or refusal of
anticipatory bail should necessarily depend on
facts and circumstances of each case.
