**There is no doubt a departure from normal process is enshrined under Section-5(6) of the Ordinance, 1984 that is offences in respect of Bank (Special Courts) Ordinance, 1984 and Section-497 Cr.P.C but that alone will not subside the constitutional mandate. **Section-5 Sub-section-6 of the Ordinance, 1984 does not restrict the court absolutely from not extending the accused person/applicant on bail. It restricts the court from not extending the accused/ applicant on bail if it appears to the court that there are reasonable grounds for believing that he has been guilty of scheduled offence. Such does not seems to be a case here.
