Normally Bail Orders Should Not Be Stayed, Stay Only In Exceptional Cases : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has emphasized that bail orders should generally not be stayed, with exceptions being rare. This principle ensures that individuals granted bail are not unduly kept in detention while their case is being appealed. The Court underlined that staying a bail order disrupts the balance of justice and is only justifiable in exceptional circumstances where there is a substantial likelihood of injustice or risk to the public. This ruling aims to prevent the misuse of stay orders to delay or undermine the judicial process.
