Very Unfortunate That People Have To Come To Supreme Court For Bail Even In Magistrate Triable Case: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of India expressed concern that individuals are compelled to approach the Supreme Court for bail even in cases triable by a magistrate, labeling the situation "very unfortunate." The Court criticized the lower judiciary for not granting bail in appropriate cases, thereby burdening the higher courts. This observation underscores the need for judicial reform to ensure that bail is granted at the earliest stages where warranted, preserving the principle of liberty.
