Supreme Court Rules Against Monetary Bail Conditions

The Supreme Court of India has said that courts should not make people pay money or give promises as a condition for bail.

This is because it can be unfair and might make people give up their right to defend themselves.

The court was hearing a case where a person was accused of misusing government money.

The Delhi High Court had refused to extend this person's temporary bail because they didn't pay some money they had promised.

The Supreme Court said this was not the right way to handle bail.

They told the Delhi High Court to decide on the bail application quickly, without making the person pay more money.

The court also said that in cases like this, a company director is not automatically guilty and their guilt must be proven in court.
