The Allahabad High Court has granted an anticipatory bail to the former Union Minister Swami Chinmayanand, who is accused in raping a law student from Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh in 2011
An SC order has stated that if custodial interrogation is not required in a case, anticipatory bail cannot be granted by itself. It is vital to see the nature of the offence and severity of punishment, especially in POCSO cases.
A single-judge bench of Justice Rajesh Singh Chauhan passed this order while hearing a Criminal Misc Anticipatory Bail Application filed by Anurag Dubey.
