Bail Condition Enabling Police To Constantly Track Movement Of Accused Can't Be Imposed: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that imposing bail conditions enabling constant police tracking of accused movements is impermissible, violating privacy rights. The decision emphasized that bail conditions must balance individual liberties with state interests, ensuring they aren't overly intrusive. The ruling stemmed from a case where the accused's bail included GPS monitoring by police, viewed as excessive and akin to anticipatory punishment. This verdict sets a precedent for bail conditions, reinforcing privacy safeguards in criminal proceedings.
