We can see from the examples discussed above how the conditions of bail being imposed vary wildly from one court to another, without much uniformity or consistency in its application. Further, often, the conditions have very little or no nexus at all with the intended good administration of justice or with advancing the trial process. Often, these conditions can be deemed onerous, bordering on harassment for the accused, who is still presumed innocent at the time of complying with such conditions. Also, the social-justice aspect or ethical value in such orders is largely subjective, based on, of course, the case specificities as well as the perception of the bench. However, such orders become binding precedents to be followed by the lower courts, an unpleasant fallout.
