A man in Punjab has been granted interim bail in four criminal cases filed against him, but two more charges remain. The problem is that the Punjab and Haryana High Court is on summer break. Can special judges on duty grant interim bail in these remaining cases? The man has been in jail for nine months.

Yes, special judges on duty during the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s summer break can grant interim bail in the remaining cases. While the High Court is on break, special judges have jurisdiction to handle urgent matters like bail applications. Considering the man’s prolonged detention, the special judge may consider granting interim bail to prevent undue hardship.
