Summary:
The assertion came as Justice Anil Kshetarpal of the High Court granted bail to an accused, while conforming interim bail granted to another. Petitioners Navjot Singh Dhaliwal and Narinder Singh had moved the High Court through senior counsel Bipin Ghai and DV Sharma. Justice Kshetarpal observed Dhaliwal was on interim bail since August, 2018, and there were no complaints regarding misuse of the concession. Before parting with the order, Justice Kshetarpal asserted incarceration of the petitioner during the pendency of the trial was not justified. As such, in Dhaliwal’s case, interim bail granted on August 29, 2018, was made absolute and Narinder Singh was directed to be released on bail on furnishing adequate personal/surety bonds..
