This research paper explores the legal principle that "bail is a matter of right, and jail is an exception" within the context of the judicial system in Central Gujarat. By examining the interplay between the right to bail and the presumption of innocence, the study investigates how courts in the region approach bail applications and how these decisions align with both constitutional rights and judicial discretion. This paper also evaluates the challenges and inconsistencies in granting bail, the impact of overcrowded prisons, and the socio-economic factors that influence the judicial decision-making process. The research aims to shed light on the evolving judicial trends in the region and make recommendations for ensuring fairness, transparency, and the protection of fundamental rights in the bail system.
