Justice system can't be oblivious to indigent convicts: Supreme Court releases man on bail sans surety

This article highlights a Supreme Court judgment addressing the plight of indigent convicts unable to provide surety for bail. The Court expressed concern about the systemic neglect faced by financially disadvantaged individuals in the justice system. It stressed that the inability to furnish surety should not preclude access to bail, especially for those who lack financial resources. The ruling underscores the need for a more compassionate approach towards economically weaker sections of society, ensuring that the legal system does not disproportionately disadvantage those unable to meet financial requirements for bail. This judgment represents a significant step towards ensuring justice and equity for all individuals, regardless of their financial status.
