Case Synopsis & Summary
These bail applications (BA Nos. 4695/2025 and connected cases) arise in respect of Gangadhararan, aged 72 years, accused in multiple crimes registered at Vadanappally and Changaramkulam Police Stations. The Kerala High Court, through a common order by Hon. Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan, disposes of the batch of petitions under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The prosecution alleges involvement in a scheme wherein Pravasi Syndicate Chits Private Limited promised 12% interest on deposits and failed to repay principal or interest. The Court notes the petitioner is already released on bail in several other cases arising from similar facts and emphasizes the general principle that bail is the rule and jail is the exception, citing Supreme Court and Kerala authorities. Authorities cited include Chidambaram P. v. Directorate of Enforcement, Jalaluddin Khan v. Union of India, Manish Sisodia v. Directorate of Enforcement, Sushila Aggarwal v. State (NCT of Delhi) & another, and Anzar Azeez v. State of Kerala, to underscore that bail should be granted where warranted by law and facts. The court, applying these principles, allows bail with conditions. It directs appearance before the Investigating Officer (IO) within four weeks for interrogation, and if arrest is contemplated, to release on bond of Rs. 50,000 with two solvent sureties. The petitioner must cooperate, not leave India without permission, and refrain from committing similar offences; the IO may continue to investigate and recoveries may be effected if necessary. The order clarifies that these directions are for the purpose of deciding the bail applications. The decision is a common disposal of the batch, with bail granted subject to specified conditions.
Provisions of Law Cited
Section 482, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS)
Legal Doctrines & Maxims
- Bail is the rule and jail is the exception.
- Bail should be granted in deserving cases; denial is exception and must be justified by law.
- Duty of Courts to consider bail in accordance with law, ensuring fair trial
- The principle that the prosecution must not translate into punishing the accused via denial of bail
- Anzar Azeez v. State of Kerala is applicable
Submissions & Arguments
Contentions of Appellants / Petitioners
The petitioners submit that bail is the rule and jail is the exception; they have been granted bail in several other cases on identical facts; they are ready to comply with standard bail conditions and cooperate with the investigation; security of society is not better served by keeping the accused in custody if the law allows bail, particularly where investigations are ongoing and no risk of flight or interference with witnesses is demonstrated.
Contentions of Respondents
The prosecution opposes bail arguing the seriousness and breadth of the offences; caution that allowing bail could impede the investigation and the enforcement of statutory obligations; however, the text shows the court ultimately relies on the bail principle and grants bail with conditions.

## **ORDER**
Petitioner in these Bail Applications filed under Section 482 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) is one and the same and therefore, I am disposing of these cases by a common order.
2. The petitioner is an accused in different crimes at Vadanappally Police Station and Changaramkulam Police Station.
3. The prosecution case is that the Pravasi Syndicate Chits Private Limited (Malayali Kshema Nidhi Limited) is operated by accused Nos.1 and 2. They assured the defacto complainants that, they would provide 12% interest on the deposited amount. Relying on this, the defacto complainants in these cases deposited huge amount. However, they did not
25
2025:KER:30918
BA No.4695/2025 & C.cases
**==> picture [58 x 58] intentionally omitted <==**
obtain the principal amount or the promised interest. Hence it is alleged that the accused committed the above said offences.
4. Heard counsel for the petitioner and the Public Prosecutor.
5. The counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is released on bail in several other cases, under Section 482 of BNSS. The counsel submitted that the petitioner is ready to abide any conditions if this court grant him bail. The Public Prosecutor opposed the bail applications.
6. This Court considered the contentions of the petitioner and the Public Prosecutor. It is an admitted fact that the petitioner was released on bail in several crimes registered for same set of facts by Pavarratty Police Station and Thrissur Town West Police Station. In such circumstances, the petitioner can be granted bail in these bail applications also.
7. Moreover, it is a well accepted principle that the bail is the rule and the jail is the exception. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in **Chidambaram. P v Directorate of Enforcement [2019 (16) SCALE 870],** after considering all the earlier judgments, observed that, the basic jurisprudence relating to bail remains the same inasmuch as the grant of bail is the rule
BA No.4695/2025 & C.cases
26
2025:KER:30918
**==> picture [58 x 58] intentionally omitted <==**
and refusal is the exception so as to ensure that the accused has the opportunity of securing fair trial.
## 8. Moreover, in **Jalaluddin Khan v. Union of India [2024 KHC 6431]** , the Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that:
“21. Before we part with the Judgment, we must mention here that the Special Court and the High Court did not consider the material in the charge sheet objectively. Perhaps the focus was more on the activities of PFI, and therefore, the appellant's case could not be properly appreciated. When a case is made out for a grant of bail, the Courts should not have any hesitation in granting bail. The allegations of the prosecution may be very serious. But, the duty of the Courts is to consider the case for grant of bail in accordance with the law. "Bail is the rule and jail is an exception" is a settled law. Even in a case like the present case where there are stringent conditions for the grant of bail in the relevant statutes, the same rule holds good with only modification that the bail can be granted if the conditions in the statute are satisfied. The rule also means that once a case is made out for the grant of bail, the Court cannot decline to grant bail. If the Courts start denying bail in deserving cases, it will be a violation of the rights guaranteed under Art.21 of our Constitution.” (underline supplied)

**==> picture [58 x 58] intentionally omitted <==**
9. In **Manish Sisodia v. Directorate of Enforcement**
**[2024 KHC 6426]** , also the Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that:
“53. The Court further observed that, over a period of time, the trial courts and the High Courts have forgotten a very well - settled principle of law that bail is not to be withheld as a punishment. From our experience, we can say that it appears that the trial courts and the High Courts attempt to play safe in matters of grant of bail. The principle that bail is a rule and refusal is an exception is, at times, followed in breach. On account of non - grant of bail even in straight forward open and shut cases, this Court is flooded with huge number of bail petitions thereby adding to the huge pendency. It is high time that the trial courts and the High Courts should recognize the principle that "bail is rule and jail is exception".”
10. Considering the dictum laid down in the above decision and considering the facts and circumstances of this case, these Bail Applications are allowed with the following directions:
1. The petitioner shall appear before the
2025:KER:30918
BA No.4695/2025 & C.cases
**==> picture [58 x 58] intentionally omitted <==**
28
Investigating Officer within four weeks from today and shall undergo
interrogation.
2. After interrogation, if the Investigating Officer propose to arrest the petitioner, he shall be released on bail on executing a bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the arresting officer concerned.
3. The petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Officer for interrogation as and when required. The petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall not, directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer.
4. Petitioner shall not leave India without
BA No.4695/2025 & C.cases
29
2025:KER:30918
**==> picture [58 x 58] intentionally omitted <==**
permission of the jurisdictional Court.
5. Petitioner shall not commit an offence similar to the offence of which he is accused, or suspected, of the commission of which he is suspected.
6. Needless to mention, it would be well within the powers of the investigating officer to investigate the matter and, if necessary, to effect recoveries on the information, if any, given by the petitioner even while the petitioner is on bail as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in **Sushila Aggarwal v. State (NCT of Delhi) and another** [2020 (1) KHC 663].
7. The observations and findings in this order is only for the purpose of deciding this bail application. The principle laid down by this Court in **Anzar Azeez v. State of Kerala** [2025 SCC OnLine KER 1260] is applicable in this case also.
8. If any of the above conditions are violated
BA No.4695/2025 & C.cases
30
2025:KER:30918
**==> picture [58 x 58] intentionally omitted <==**
by the petitioner, the jurisdictional Court can cancel the bail in accordance to law, even though the bail is granted by this Court. The prosecution and the victim are at liberty to approach the jurisdictional Court to cancel the bail, if any of the above conditions are violated.
