#Surety Waiver

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that financial hardship alone justifies releasing an accused on personal bond without sureties, reinforcing the Arnesh Kumar principle that bail should not be conditioned on means. This sets a critical precedent for low-income defendants across India, ensuring access to liberty is not contingent on economic capacity.

Rajasthan High Court reinforces judicial precedent by waiving surety requirements for indigent life convicts on third parole, provided they have a history of compliance with prior parole conditions. The ruling underscores humanitarian considerations and judicial discretion in parole policy, ensuring access to temporary release for economically disadvantaged prisoners without capable sureties.
