Case Background:

Arguments and Court’s Reasoning:

Advocate Rajesh Singh represented the applicant, Mariyam Shaikh. APP Meera Choudhary-Bhosale represented the State.

The prosecution objected to the grant of provisional cash bail.

The court also noted that a bail order had already been passed in her favor. “The bail order is passed in favour of accused,” Judge Agarwal noted.

Considering these circumstances, the court deemed it proper to grant provisional cash bail for a short duration. “Considering such circumstances, it will be proper to release accused on provisional cash bail for short duration,” Judge Agarwal concluded.
