Abdul Salam v. State
Case brief
What is this about?
Justice Vyas held that the petitioner, an elderly man absent from legal practice for 30 years with no criminal record, is entitled to unconditional bail. The Court quashed the lower courts' decisions denying bail and ordered the sentencing bench to release the petitioner on bail, waiving the need for prior security, provided no further adjournment reasons arise within six months.
What did the court decide?
Bail granted to the petitioner unconditionally without the furnishing of security or sureties.
