In Brief
Priya Taneja sought anticipatory bail in a criminal case under sections 409, 420, and 120B IPC. The High Court had rejected her bail application. The Supreme Court allowed her appeal, setting aside the High Court's order. The Court granted anticipatory bail considering that the appellant is a married woman with two young children, including an infant of five months old, with no other female family member to provide care. The bail was granted on condition of a personal bond of Rs 25,000 with two sureties, subject to her availability for police interrogation and compliance with standard bail conditions.
