A Bench comprising Justices S. K. Kaul and M. M. Sundresh said there must be a mechanism that if an accused approaches high court, then the bail applications are listed promptly for hearing.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered registration of a suo motu case to consider laying down guidelines to deal with long pendency of criminal appeals in the Allahabad High Court.
A Bench comprising Justices S. K. Kaul and M. M. Sundresh said there must be a mechanism that if an accused approaches high court, then the bail applications are listed promptly for hearing.
“An affidavit has been filed by the High Court (Allahabad) accepting suggestions by the government. If we peruse the said suggestions, it will make the exercise of grant of bail more cumbersome.”
