Sick Infant's Plea: Mother Gets Bail for Care
30 Sep
Summary
- Mother receives eight-month bail for infant's critical care.
- Infant requires frequent medical attention for respiratory issues.
- Court cited humanitarian grounds for the bail decision.
The Bombay High Court has granted interim bail for eight months to a woman accused in a drug case, citing humanitarian reasons. The decision allows her to care for her infant daughter, who suffers from serious respiratory illnesses. The child requires frequent medical attention and has a history of conditions like bronchopneumonia.
The woman was arrested last year while pregnant for allegedly possessing six kg of cocaine. She had previously received interim bail for delivery and surrendered to prison with her baby after three months. The court noted the infant's ongoing illness and need for specialized care, stating it would be better for the child to be with her mother at home for proper recovery and medical checkups.
