Ayodhya Singh vs State Of Rajasthan on 16 August, 1972
The Rajasthan High Court has in Ayodhya Singh v. State
1973 Cri.L.J. 768 and Lallu v. State 1979 Raj LW 465 taken
the view that the provisions in this regard are mandatory, and
that Court cannot go behind the wisdom of the legislature as
expressly laid down under Section 306, Cr. P.C. In the
former case the circumstance that the disposal of the case was
likely to take a long period of time as the prosecution had
cited 174 witnesses, was not considered as valid ground for
bail when the law prohibits any such release till the
termination of the trial. In Mukesh Ramchandra Reddy 1958
Cri.L.J. 343, the Andhra Pradesh High Court has as well
interpreted the word "shall" in the said provisions as
primarily obligatory and casting a duty on the Court to detain
an accused to whom pardon has been tendered, in custody
until the termination of the trial.
A.L. Mehra vs The State on 25 June, 1957
There is no reason to
suppose that the machinery of law would not be able to give
protection to the petitioner in case any adventurism is sought
to be displayed by his confederates, or their supporters. The
conduct of the petitioner in seeking his release itself shows
that he carries no apprehensions. It would not be, therefore,
correct for the Court to still create such fears and profess to
provide him unsolicited protection by detaining him for
indefinite period. Thus in the case of A. L. Mehra, (1958 Cri
LJ 413) (supra) the Punjab High Court released the approver
from confinement in exercise of inherent powers to prevent
the abuse of the process of court, finding that he had been in
confinement for several months.
State Of Karnataka vs L. Muniswamy & Ors on 3 March, 1977
In the case State of Karnataka v. L. Muniswamy AIR
1977 SC 1489 : (1977 CriLJ 1125) it has been observed as

is not a valid argument to say that the expression "personal
liberty" in Art. 21 must be so interpreted so as to avoid
overlapping between that Article and Art. 19(1). The
expression "personal liberty" in Art. 21 is of the widest
amplitude and it covers a variety of rights which go to
constitute the personal liberty of man and some of them have
been raised to the status of distinct fundamental rights and
given additional protection under Art. 19. It was further
observed that if a law depriving a person of "personal liberty"
Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre vs State Of Maharashtra And Ors on 2 December, 2010
10. In the present case firstly in the interest of justice and the fundamental
right to life and liberty of Respondent No.2 when his statement has already
been recorded before the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, no useful purpose
will be served to send him in custody now. Further Respondent No.2 has
already been granted an order of anticipatory bail, which enures to his

benefit till conclusion of the trial as held in Siddharam Satingappa Mhetre v.
State of Maharashtra and others, (2011) 1 SCC 694. In view of the order of
anticipatory bail directing sending Respondent No.2 custody is not possible
as the moment he is arrested he has to be released on bail as directed by the
Court while granting anticipatory bail. The evidence of Respondent No.2
and all other prosecution witnesses has been recorded. The case does not fall
in the ambit of Section 308 Cr.P.C. Respondent No.2 though not on bail
technically, however, even if this Court directs him to be arrested, would
have to be released on bail in view of the anticipatory bail order. I find no
reason to interfere with the impugned order.
