Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 – Bail – Directions issued by Rajasthan High Court in Jugal Kishore vs. State of Rajasthan (2020) 4 RLW 3386 to the Trial Courts to incorporate a chart containing details of the antecedents of the accused who applies for bail- These directions cannot be construed as mandatory directions to Criminal Courts. At the highest, it can be taken as a suggestion which need not be implemented in every case. No Constitutional Court can direct the Trial Courts to write orders on bail applications in a particular manner. (Para 12)
Practice and Procedure – The direction of calling for an explanation from a judicial officer by a judicial order was inappropriate. Explanation of a judicial officer can be called for only on the administrative side. (Para 13) The High Court cannot damage the career of a judicial officer by passing such orders. The reason is that he cannot defend himself when such orders are passed on the judicial side. (Para 18)
