Delhi Court Rules Prolonged Jail Insufficient for Bail in MCOCA Case
A Delhi court rejected the bail plea of Hariom, accused under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), ruling that prolonged incarceration alone does not justify bail under special laws. Special Judge Gaurav Rao emphasized balancing the accused's constitutional right to liberty with the state's duty to protect society, especially in serious cases. The court noted that each case must be assessed on its facts, weighing the nature of the offence and evidence against the accused.
