What is the meaning of a sentence, if bail is given?
by on Nov 27, 2007 07:03 PM  Permalink 

Manu Sharma is sentenced, he seeks bail.
Sanjay Dutt is sentenced, he seeks bail.
Shibu Soren is sentenced, he seeks bail.

As a layman I do not understand how a person who has been convicted and sentenced on the basis of charge sheet, FIR, evidences, witnesses, hearings in court proceedings etc. (very often running to several months if not years) can be granted a bail! Does the law not require the person to continue in prison when his appeal in higher court is pending?

Will someone clarify?

The question of Bail, it depends upon what type of lawyer you are engaging for your defence council. If you are engaging Solib Sorabjee, Nariman, Palikwala, venugopalan, salve etc. I am quite sure you will win the case becuase the present all over India High court /supreme court judges are student of these top laywers. No there is no question that you will not get bail. That is why all the big shots are engaging such high profile lawyers.

Dear Friend,
Bail does not mean that the person is free. Bail is given once the Court granting it is satisfied that the person who got it will be appearing in the Court for the trial and all further proceedings without fail. The Court ensures this by way of sureties and Bond amount.The logic is that once the Court is convinced that the accused will be present for further proceedings, there is no reason that the person should be imprisoned. If at all he is found not guilty in the end who will repay for the days he spend in jail unjustified. To avoid that the accused is set at liberty with conditions. He will have to seek the permission of the Court for many matters such as travelling abroad etc. Don't be mistaken into thinking that once a person gets bail he has been aquitted. The charges are still there and the Court will find and decide on them. We will only appreciate all these allowances only when one of us is convicted wrongly and suffers unjust imprisonment. In the acquisitorial system of justice that we follow it is the prosecution which has to prove the case. Not the accused to disprove the case charged against him.( There are exceptions to this rule--for example in cases of rape.) Hope this answer is enough. I'll be available for further clarifications.

WHAT CLARIFICATION CAN U GIVE...SANJAY DUTT IS A PROCLAIMED OFFENDER AND HE HAS ADMITTED N COURT OF POSSESSING ILLEGAL ARMS... THAT MEANS HE IS A CRIMINAL.. WHY DOES HE NEED A BAIL... LET HIM BE IN JAIL AND ENJOY THE PRIVILEGES IN JAIL FOR SOME TIME...HE HAS TO PAY FOR HIS DEEDS...DO NOT SUPPORT CRIMINALS LIKE SANJAY DUTT..

it is not a convict's right to get bail. he can only appeal. the higher court, on the basis of merits, can or cannot grant bail. actually if u look deeply, the rule is not bad. it is only that some people misrepresent the matter, and do it brilliantly, and take advantage of the general principle of law "let go 100 guilty but dont punish one innocent". u will not like it friend, but be sure, this is the true spirit of law. u will only understand and appreciate this if u get falsely accused or even convited by a lower court...I hope u are satisfied..

Dear Rajnarain,
It's plan and simple. All the three of them are rich and politically connected. If it was people like you and me.... they would have locked us and thrown away the key.

have you come new to india?This is called perpetual process of justice.Like we belive in perpetual life cycle our courts keep busy withj same case of years and decades shamelessly.One court convicts( in 5 years),other one acquits in next 3 or 5 years then next higher one comvicts back afyer 7 yeasr (high court) then the hiughest one agin acuits after 3or 5 years (supreme coiurt)meanhwile convict remains out on bail most of time and acrries on crimes happily.Called charge sheeter by police.You can count the total time now and total bails and imprisonments.Finally nothing come sout.Lawyers earn 50,000 to 5 lacs rupees ,poolicemen make another 10 or 20 000, the victim gets nothing except ulcers and poverty.This is picture of Indian legal system or shall we say illegal system?No one has shame.No one has accountability.It is free for all.Everyone enjoys at cost of victims.criminlas are happy feeding on state cost.If you crriticise or expose the corrupotion and negligence iof duty of judiciary ,you are threatened by contempt of court.But if person does not follow court order, no contempt is there.Is that not funny? A few VIP cases can not make fool of masses who only get injustice from syemtem of justice in India.For 1 Manu sharma tens ofcriminals go scot free beacuse the vitime is helpless and polioce and courts are shameless.WE are already free since 60 years.How many more decades wil it take to give justice to all in 2 years time? Big Q for judges and PM and President to think
