The Bench also sought assistance from Attorney General for India, R.

It has been claimed that Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519738\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">437-A<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">354(d)<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CrPC<\/a> are contradictory since Section 354(d) obliges the Courts to set the accused at liberty. Reference was particularly made to the decisions of High Courts of Allahabad, Kerala and Delhi regarding interpretation of &#8216;shall&#8217; in Section 437A as directive rather than mandatory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was pleaded before the Court that the provision lacks sense of proportionality with specific reference to persons lacking financial resources and unable to find sureties, that insisting on bail with sureties would lead to continuation of their incarceration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Source:<\/span> Press<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #000080;\">Buy Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebcwebstore.com\/product_info.php?products_id=1031\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebcwebstore.com\/product_info.php?products_id=1031\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Code of Criminal Procedure\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-294422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure.jpg 886w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-60x40.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">Supreme Court also sought assistance from Attorney General for India, R.
