Tiger80 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Live India The buzz from tinsel town has jolted the whole country, with bail for Salman Khan, there are groups of people for and against the decision. Every next day we are coming across people who tell their own story of being a victim of road accident, specially with sub-head stating hit and run case. Now, a new report states, while superstar Salman Khan secured bail in barely three hours after his conviction in a hit-and-run case, for majority of ordinary under-trials in the country it takes a minimum of over three months to get bail. According to government data, over 60% of under-trials spend more than three months in jail before they can secure release. The prolonged incarceration is due to the inability of these under-trials to get bail. According to records published by English daily, close to 1.75 lakh of 2.78 lakh people facing criminal charges are unable to secure bail before three months. Over 40% of under-trials take more than six months to secure bail, while over 30000 spends more than two years and over 64000 spend more than one year in jail before they are released on bail. The figures point to a deeper malaise in the criminal justice system as bail, pending conviction, is considered a right under Indian law. Even in cases of heinous nature, an under-trial is entitled to bail, if not immediately, then after the chargesheet is filed by an investigating agency. Police get three months to file chargesheet in cases under Indian Penal Code and up to six months under special laws such as Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act. The fact that over 60% are incarnated even after chargesheets are filed points to the fact that only those with deep pockects to hire talented lawyers and fight long-down legal battles are able to secure bail for themselves. Colin Gonsalves of Human Rights Law Network said though bail was a right of every individual, it was largely available to the rich. But that’s not the only problem. Courts have also been terribly slow in disposing of cases. Courts have 84.8% pendency in criminal cases on an average over 60% cases take more than a year for trial to be completed. As many as 41,670 cases take more than 10 years while 1.7 lakh cases take between five to 10 years for the trial to be completed. - See more at: http://liveindia.in/3-months-jail-bail-17l-under-trials#sthash.Rt8hlLNI.dpuf http://liveindia.in/3-months-jail-bail-17l-under-trials And there are people who believe that we all are equal in the eyes of law
rkt.india Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 According to law, everyone is entitled to get bail under trial. So, it isn't because of law but other inefficiencies that cause these issues.

If you have a lawyer like Harish Salve every thing is possible.
