SC rules courts cannot demand bail bonds from accused six months post-order

The Supreme Court has said courts cannot impose a condition on the accused to furnish bail bonds after six months of the passing of the bail order. A bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma said if the court was satisfied on merits, it should either grant bail or reject it. On October 24, the apex court dealt with a petition filed by a man who had challenged an order of the Patna High Court, directing him to furnish bail bonds after six months in a case against him under the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Amendment Act. The man was, therefore, directed to be released by the trial court on bail upon furnishing bonds of Rs 10,000 with two sureties of the like amount. While dealing with his plea, the top court noted, "This is one of the few orders we have come across in last few days passed by the high court, in which, without deciding the matter on merits, the high court has granted the bail to the present petitioner, subject to the condition that the petitioner-accu

Slower deposit growth pushing banks towards fund raising from bonds: ICRA

The slower deposit growth will push banks to mop-up up to Rs 1.3 lakh crore from bond issuances in FY25, a report said on Tuesday. The bond issuances, coming amidst a continuing wedge between deposit and credit growth, will come between Rs 1.2-1.3 lakh crore and will be the highest ever for the system, the report said. Nearly 85 per cent of the bond issuances will be by public sector banks, the report by domestic rating agency Icra said, adding that the higher appetite for infra bonds among such lenders will drive the market. "Tight liquidity conditions and credit growth continuously surpassing deposit growth has necessitated fundraising by banks from alternate sources," the agency said. Banks had raised Rs 1 lakh crore from the bond issuances avenue in FY24, while the previous all-time high was reached in FY23 at Rs 1.1 lakh crore. With the mid-fiscal year mark approaching, the report said banks have already raised Rs 76,700 crore from bonds till now, which is an over 225 per cen
