“Bail is the rule and jail the exception”: Delhi High Court grants bail in cheating case citing 9-month custody and lack of incriminating evidence
Delhi High Court observed that one of the primary objects of bail was to secure the presence of the accused during trial. The accused has been in custody since 7-11-2024, has cooperated throughout the investigation, and there is nothing to suggest that he would abscond, interfere with evidence, or influence witnesses.
