Elderly women not automatically entitled to anticipatory bail: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court ruled that elderly women are not automatically entitled to anticipatory bail solely based on their age. The judgment came in a case where an elderly woman sought protection from arrest, arguing that her age and frailty justified bail. The court, however, emphasized that bail should be granted based on the merits of the case and the nature of the allegations, rather than just age. The court reaffirmed that justice should balance compassion with the rule of law.
