In a dry Bihar, a liquor case accused was granted bail by the court, which also ordered him to pay for beautifying the courtroom.
A court in Bihar has granted bail to an accused in a liquor case, a decision that came amid the state's strict dry policy. The accused was also ordered to pay a fee for the beautification of the courtroom, a condition that is uncommon in such proceedings. The bail was granted after the accused presented the necessary documents and the court deemed the offence not severe enough to deny release. The ruling reflects the judiciary's attempt to balance punitive measures with rehabilitation, while also addressing the aesthetic upkeep of court premises.
