Section 437-A CrPC | Financial Hardship Alone Insufficient to Waive Mandatory Bail Bonds for Appellate Appearance : Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that Section 437-A CrPC requires accused persons to furnish bail bonds of Rs. 25,000 each with surety before seeking appellate relief, and mere claims of financial distress without documentary proof cannot override this statutory mandate. This reinforces that procedural compliance in appellate bail is non-negotiable, affecting all accused seeking to challenge convictions without securing the prescribed financial guarantees.
