Prahlad Singh Bhati vs N.C.T., Delhi & Anr on 23 March, 2001

In the decision in Prahlad Singh Bhati v. NCT, Delhi and Another [(2001) 4 SCC 280], it was observed that "The jurisdiction to grant bail has to be exercised on the basis of well - settled principles having regard to the circumstances of each case and not in an arbitrary manner. While granting the bail, the Court has to keep in mind the nature of accusations, the nature of the evidence in support thereof, the severity of the punishment which conviction will entail, the character, behaviour, means and standing of the accused, circumstances which are peculiar to the accused, reasonable possibility of securing the presence of the accused at the trial, reasonable apprehension of the witnesses being tampered with, the larger interests of the public or State and similar other considerations".
