Avoid custodial interrogation if accused is cooperative: SC
A bench of Justices A K Sikri and Rohinton F Nariman said a strong social stigma is attached to arrest, and the court must keep it in mind while deciding on the bail plea of an accused. “A great ignominy , humiliation and disgrace is attached to arrest. Arrest leads to many serious consequences not only for the accused but for the entire family and at times for the entire community . Most people do not make any distinction between arrest at a pre-conviction stage or postconviction stage,“ said Justice Sikri, who wrote the judgment for the bench. The bench said once an accused is released on anticipatory bail, it should “ordinarily“ be continued till the trial of the case and it would be “unreasonable“ to compel the accused to surrender and again apply for regular bail. It set aside the order of the Gujarat HC cancelling anticipatory bail plea of a rape accused in a 14-year old case. The court said bail of an accused should not to be withheld as a punishment.
