Bail denial based on conduct not prohibited by any statute is an unconstitutional restriction on personal liberty under Article 21.
Aaj ka motion yeh hai: 'Bail Must Not Be Denied on Grounds Unrelated to Legal Prohibitions' — yaani bail sirf wahi reasons par rokni chahiye jo law mein clearly defined hain, na ki kisi aur consideration par. Yeh ek bahut mahatvapoorna constitutional sawaal hai jo har nagarik ki liberty aur nyay-praapti se seedha juda hua hai. Ab main Counsel Aarav se nivedan karungi ki woh apna paksh rakhein.
My lord, Article 21 ke tahat personal liberty kisi bhi vyakti ka sabse maulik adhikar hai — aur Maneka Gandhi ke baad yeh sthaapit hai ki uss liberty se vanchit karne ki procedure fair, just aur reasonable honi chahiye. Jab bail ko aisi grounds par deny kiya jaata hai jo law mein kahin defined nahi, to woh procedure na fair hai, na just — woh seedha Article 21 ka ullanghghan hai. Main is motion ke paksh mein yeh firmly kehna chahta hoon ki sirf law-defined prohibitions — jaisi CrPC Section 437 mein spashtata diya gaya hai — hi bail deny karne ka vaidh aadhaar ho sakti hain, koi arbitrary ya extraneous consideration nahi.

My lord, main Bina, vipaksh ki taraf se yeh clearly kehna chahti hoon ki bail ko sirf legal prohibitions tak seedha baandhna ek dangerous oversimplification hoga — kyunki CrPC Section 437 khud magistrate ko flight risk, evidence tampering, aur public safety jaise factors consider karne ka discretion deta hai, jo kisi 'unrelated ground' nahi, balki justice ke core elements hain. Paksh ki yeh dalil ki har bail denial Constitution ke Article 21 ka violation hai, is tathya ko nazar-andaaz karti hai ki Article 21 ki 'just, fair and reasonable procedure' ka matlab yeh bhi hai ki society aur victim ke rights bhi protect hon. Isliye main maanti hoon ki bail denial kabhi bhi arbitrary nahi honi chahiye, lekin magistrate ka structured discretion ek zaroori safeguard hai — use 'unrelated ground' kehna galat hoga.

My lord, vipaksh kehta hai ki bail deny karna kabhi kabhi 'zaruri' hota hai — lekin yeh justification tab tak valid nahi jab tak woh grounds CrPC Section 437 ke under established legal prohibitions mein nahi aate. Article 21 ke under Maneka Gandhi ne clearly kaha hai ki procedure fair, just aur reasonable hona chahiye — koi bhi extra-legal consideration, chahe woh public sentiment ho ya administrative convenience, us procedure ko vitiate karta hai. Isliye main poore commitment ke saath kehta hoon: bail sirf aur sirf law-prescribed grounds par deny ki ja sakti hai, aur koi bhi departure Article 21 ka direct violation hai.

My Lord, paksh ne jo dalil di hai woh sirf ideal duniya mein kaam karti hai — lekin reality mein, jab bail courts apni discretion mein 'flight risk' ya 'public sentiment' jaisi uncodified baatein laate hain, tab Article 21 ki fair procedure ki guarantee sidha thes khaati hai, jo Maneka Gandhi ne clearly establish kiya hai. Aur Article 22 kehta hai grounds of arrest batane zaroori hain — toh agar grounds related nahi hain legal prohibition se, toh unhi unrelated grounds par bail deny karna ek arbitrary detention hai, jo constitution kabhi allow nahi karta. Main maanti hoon ki vipaksh ka stand yahi hai — bail denial sirf law-prescribed grounds par honi chahiye, aur koi bhi extra-legal consideration is protection ko dilute nahi kar sakta.

Aaj ki debate ka motion yeh hai: 'Bail Must Not Be Denied on Grounds Unrelated to Legal Prohibitions' — ek atyant mahatvapurna constitutional prashna jo Article 21 ke dil se judaa hai. Main chahti hoon ki dono counsels apne-apne paksh puri nimrata aur tarkshilta ke saath rakhen, aur hum milkar is mudde ki gehrai samjhen.
