#humanitarian bail

The Rajasthan High Court granted 45-day interim bail to an accused under the NDPS Act because he is the only adult male caregiver for his father with terminal lymphoproliferative cancer, and no other family member can provide daily medical support. This ruling reinforces Article 21’s humanitarian dimension in bail jurisprudence, setting a precedent for caregivers in non-heinous drug cases where family dependency is absolute and irreplaceable.

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that the fundamental right to perform last rites under Article 21 justifies temporary suspension of a convict’s sentence under Section 430 of the BNSS, even for NDPS Act convictions. This sets a humanitarian precedent for compassionate bail in cases involving immediate family death, balancing penal consequences with cultural and constitutional dignity.

The Rajasthan High Court has granted 15-day interim bail to an accused undergoing radiation therapy for carcinoma, prioritizing the right to health under Article 21 over the gravity of NDPS charges. This sets a clear precedent that life-saving medical treatment can override statutory bail restrictions when no flight risk exists and treatment is time-sensitive.
