Court Grants Bail To Kidnapping Accused, Prioritizes Child's Need For Parental Care

In a recent development, a court has granted bail to a woman arrested for a kidnapping case dating back to 2013, emphasizing the importance of parental care for her own child. The accused, who is the mother of a 7-year-old, had remained in custody for the past three years.

The child, staying at a children's home, had not seen her parents during this period. The court underscored the need for the child to be with her mother, despite the serious charges faced by the accused. The victim of the kidnapping was located in 2022, leading to the arrest of both her alleged abductors.

The court's decision highlights the prolonged legal proceedings, noting that the accused's daughter requires the presence of her natural guardian. Consequently, bail was deemed 'just and proper,' allowing the woman to reunite with her child while her husband remains in custody.
