Asifbhai Mustakbhai Selot filed a regular bail application before the Gujarat High Court under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, in connection with an FIR registered at Surendranagar City - B Division Police Station for offences including forgery, cheating, criminal breach of trust, and criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code. The applicant's alleged role was limited to preparing forged Aadhaar and PAN cards for co-accused LIC agents in exchange for Rs. 5,000/-, with no further role attributed to him. The court considered that the substantial part of the investigation was complete, there was nothing further to be recovered from the applicant, the offence was triable by a Magistrate, and prolonged pre-trial detention would amount to pre-trial conviction. Relying on the Supreme Court's decisions in Sanjay Chandra v. CBI and Gudikanti Narasimhulu v. Public Prosecutor, and the constitutional guarantee of personal liberty under Article 21, the court held that bail is the rule and jail the exception. The High Court allowed the application and ordered the applicant's release on a personal bond of Rs. 25,000/- with one surety of the like amount, subject to several conditions.
