A court here in Maharashtra has granted bail to a man from Navi Mumbai charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder observing a "pre-trial detention should not be a pretrial sentence”.
Thane additional sessions judge Rachna Tehera granted bail to the accused arrested in Rabale on October 27, 2022, recently.
The incident occurred during a drunken brawl outside a shop when the accused allegedly thrashed a 20-year-old man, resulting in his death, the prosecution said.
"Taking into consideration the facts of the case, and rival submissions made at the bar, it seems that the accused/ applicant is in custody since October 27, 2022. Bail is the rule. Jail is an exception. A pre-trial detention should not be a pretrial sentence," the judge noted in the order.
