Supreme Court moots mechanism to check cases where accused is not released despite grant of bail

The Supreme Court discussed creating a mechanism to check cases where accused individuals remain in custody despite being granted bail. This problem arises due to delays in verifying bail conditions and paperwork. The court noted the systemic flaws in the judicial and administrative processes and emphasized that prolonged incarceration despite bail violates fundamental rights. It urged the government and prison authorities to collaborate on a streamlined system to address these lapses. This move is expected to improve the efficiency of the justice system and ensure timely release of prisoners.
