Judgment text as reported

Mst. Yasmeen VS State S. 497(2)---Bail---Pre-requisite for grant of bail---Essential prerequisite for the grant of bail under S. 497(2), Cr.P.C., is that the court must be satisfied based on the material placed on record that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the accused is not guilty of an offence punishable with death or imprisonment for life---Condition of this clause is that sufficient grounds exist for further inquiry into the guilt of the accused which would mean that question should be such that it has nexus with the result of the case and can show or tend to show that the accused was not guilty of the offence with which he is charged---Grant or rejection of bail is a discretionary relief but such discretion should be exercised fairly and judicially---Word discretion when applied to court means sound discretion judiciously guided by law to lessen the hardship of the people---Bail is not to be refused as punishment.
