Age not a criteria for granting bail: Bombay High Court
Rejecting bail plea of a 76-year-old woman accused of killing her one-month-old granddaughter, the Bombay High Court observed that age cannot be a criterion for granting bail to the accused. The court added the manner and brutality of committing the crime is considered while granting bail. It took into consideration that the accused strangulated an infant when alone at home.
