The Supreme Court of India on July 12 condemned the practice of higher courts casually staying bail orders granted by trial courts, particularly when the accused is neither a terrorist nor considered a threat to society. The Court emphasized that bail orders should only be stayed in rare and exceptional cases. The inclination among higher courts to stall bail creates a real and present danger to the rights of personal liberty and due process. The Court also held that location sharing of an accused cannot be a bail condition.
