The appellant was arrested in connection with a crime registered at Satara City Police Station for offences of criminal breach of trust, cheating, and forgery under the Indian Penal Code. The Trial Court declined bail, whereupon the appellant approached the High Court, which granted bail subject to a condition that the appellant deposit Rs.25,00,000/- in the Trial Court, based on an affidavit-cum-undertaking voluntarily filed by the appellant.
Having secured his release on bail, the appellant failed to comply with the condition of depositing Rs.25,00,000/- as undertaken before the High Court on oath. The original complainant (Respondent No.2) thereupon filed an interim application in the original bail application before the High Court, which was allowed, resulting in modification of the bail order. The appellant challenged this modification before the Supreme Court by way of a Special Leave Petition.
The Supreme Court, granting leave, took note of the appellant's conduct in giving a solemn undertaking before the High Court and subsequently failing to honour it. The Court examined whether the High Court was justified in modifying the bail order on account of the appellant's non-compliance with the undertaking given as a condition of bail, and considered the broader question of the enforceability of undertakings given to courts as conditions of bail.
