Illegal Appointment in Govt. Schools: Calcutta HC Allows Release of Accused in Absence of Arrest...

The Calcutta High Court has allowed the release of an accused in an illegal appointment case in government schools in the absence of arrest under PMLA. This decision, similar to another ruling, clarifies that stringent PMLA bail conditions apply only if there's a specific arrest under that act. In this case, concerning alleged irregularities in government school appointments, the accused can seek bail under general criminal procedure laws if not formally arrested under PMLA. This highlights the careful application of specific legal provisions for bail based on the nature of the arrest and charges.
