The applicant, Ravi Bharai Rabari, sought regular bail before the Gujarat High Court after being charged under the Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organized Crime Act, 2015 (GUJCTOC Act) in connection with an FIR registered at Sheel Police Station, Junagadh. The applicant argued that the GUJCTOC provisions were invoked solely on the basis of past antecedents without any substantive or triggering offence, and that several of the 15 offences considered were committed in his individual capacity rather than as part of an organised crime syndicate. The Court found, prima facie, that the prosecution had not adequately established the requisite nexus between the alleged offences and an organised crime syndicate, and that 'continuing unlawful activity' — an essential ingredient under the GUJCTOC Act — had not been sufficiently demonstrated. Relying on Supreme Court precedents on the right to speedy trial under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution, and noting that the trial would take considerable time, the Court held that prolonged incarceration without trial amounts to pre-trial conviction. The Court accordingly allowed the bail application, granting regular bail subject to conditions including a personal bond of Rs. 25,000, restrictions on travel outside Gujarat, and regular reporting to the police station.
