In Brief
A criminal appellant sought relaxation of bail conditions restricting his entry to a village and requiring police reporting. The High Court had rejected this request, noting that the appellant had obtained a separate order staying charge-sheet filing and should not benefit from that relief while seeking further relaxation. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal after the appellant consented to withdraw the charge-sheet stay order. The Court held that once this impediment was removed, the appellant was entitled to the requested relaxation of bail conditions, as the restriction was no longer justified.
