Grant Of Bail Must Be Subject To Embargo In Special Enactments : Supreme Court Sets Aside Bail Of MCOCA Accused

The Supreme Court held that the grant of bail in cases covered by special enactments, such as MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act), must be subject to specific conditions as prescribed by the enactment. The ruling came after the Court set aside the bail granted to an accused in a MCOCA case, stating that the stringent conditions under the special law must be respected. The decision underscores that bail conditions in such cases cannot be granted lightly and must adhere to the special provisions governing the offense.
