Explanation using Example
Example 1:
Rajesh is accused of a minor theft and is arrested by the police. The Magistrate sets the bail amount at ₹50,000. Rajesh's family finds this amount excessive given their financial situation. They approach the High Court, explaining their financial constraints and the minor nature of the offense. The High Court reviews the circumstances and directs that the bail amount be reduced to ₹10,000, making it more affordable for Rajesh's family to secure his release.
Example 2:
Priya is arrested for a non-violent protest and the police officer sets her bail at ₹1,00,000. Priya's lawyer argues that the amount is excessive considering the non-violent nature of the offense and Priya's clean record. The lawyer files an application in the Court of Session. After reviewing the case details, the Court of Session agrees that the bail amount is too high and orders it to be reduced to ₹20,000, ensuring that Priya can be released on bail without undue financial burden.
