The said discretion is not to be used as a rule of thumb but rather depends on special circumstances and facts necessitating such release on bail while also considering the nature, gravity, and seriousness of the offense.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further noted that the respondent in the present case is a woman aged 62 yrs, a senior citizen and a housewife who was merely a figurehead in the company and has acted at the behest of her husband and the other senior functionaries of the company. No independent offense has been ascertained against her except that she was the authorized signatory in all bank accounts related to BPSL and its associated companies and that she signed the cheques in question.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that the law distinguishing between cancellation of bail, rejection of bail, and quashing of the bail order directly affects the personal liberty of a person which is a fundamental right guaranteed under Article 21, however, the Courts must adopt different parameters and mechanisms while adjudicating the three. Thus, the Court must analyze if the order granting bail is perverse, without jurisdiction or based on irrelevant material on record.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court remarked that the order granting bail is a well-reasoned order and has been based on proper material on record considering several incidental aspects around the case. There is no infirmity with the order which so requires the interference of this Court. Thus, the special benefit conferred on a woman and after considering the role of the respondent and upon its satisfaction has duly exercised its discretion in favor of the present respondent thereby granting her bail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Serious Fraud Investigation Office v Aarti Singhal, <a
