Fix time for completion of trials, but denying bail no solution, SC tells HCs

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has expressed strong displeasure after discovering that High Courts have been denying bail to people incarcerated for long periods. A two-judge bench of Justices Abhay S. Oka and Augustine George Masih observed, “Every day we notice that in several orders passed by different High Courts while rejecting the bail applications, in a routine manner, the High Courts are fixing a time-bound schedule for the conclusion of the trials. Such directions adversely affect the functioning of the trial courts as in many Trial Courts, there may be older cases of the same category pending.” The top court made these strong remarks after hearing an appeal filed by one Sangram Sadashiv Suryavanshi, who has been accused of illegally possessing six counterfeit currency notes. The apex court had granted bail to the appellant, Suryavanshi, for offences under Sections 489A and related sections of 489-B and 489-C read with Section 34 of the IPC after noting the “well-settled rule that bail is rule and jail is an exception.” While directing the appellant to cooperate with the trial court for the expeditious conclusion of the trial, the bench stated that it noticed several orders passed by different High Courts which were fixing a time-bound deadline in finishing the trial, but failed to say about granting bail to the accused.
