Prasad Vasant Kulkarni vs The State Of Maharashtra And Anr on 18 November, 2019

14.The ruling relied upon by learned counsel for the respondent in the case of Ishan Vasant Deshmukh (supra), learned Judge of the High Court of Bombay considering the ruling of Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Prahlad Singh Bhati Vs. NCT Delhi & Anr. reported in (2001) 4 SCC 280 has held that the Magistrate will have no jurisdiction to grant bail unless offence is also exclusively triable by the Court of Sessions. Provision under Section 437 of Cr.P.C. does not make any difference that the offence alleged to be triable by the Judicial Magistrate or by the Court of Sessions, but it only mentions the restriction upon the jurisdiction of Magistrate to enlarge the person on bail arrested for commission of non-bailable offence if there appear reasonable grounds for believing that he has been guilty of an offence punishable with death or imprisonment for life. Under Section 437 of Cr.P.C. what has been made important is consideration of punishment prescribed for the non-bailable offence and not the offence to be triable by the Court of Judicial Magistrate or Sessions Court.
