Revision of penal laws overdue Oct 24, 2019 https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/archive/comment/revision-of-penal-laws-overdue-851464

Lately, there have been many problematic bail orders both in terms of their length, what they stated as well as the conditions these orders imposed. 

The law is clear that conditions which have no nexus with the object and purpose of bail and tend to be in the nature of harassment of the individual or even an infringement of their constitutional and legal rights cannot be brought within the purview of the lawful exercise of ‘judicial discretion’.
