Law correspondent, Patna. Patna High Court Chief Justice Sangam Kumar Sahu on Tuesday directed all the district and session judges of the state to actively and positively use their discretion in matters related to bail. He was addressing the lower courts in a meeting held through video conferencing.
On this occasion, Justice Prabhat Kumar Singh, Justice Navneet Kumar Pandey, Justice Satyavrat Verma, Justice Rajesh Kumar Verma, Justice Chandrashekhar Jha and Justice R. P. Mishra also gave guidelines.
The Chief Justice said in clear words that the number of bail petitions in the High Court is continuously increasing due to non-availability of anticipatory or regular bail from the lower courts even in cases with punishment ranging from three to seven years. As a result, most of the High Court's time is being spent in disposing of these petitions.
He underlined that the High Court is a constitutional court, where many important and wide-ranging cases are pending. Hearing of such cases is being affected due to abnormal increase in bail petitions.
Therefore, the lower courts should adopt a sensitive and positive approach at their level and dispose of bail cases quickly and justly, so that the burden on the High Court is reduced and common citizens can get timely relief.
