Undertrial can’t be detained indefinitely: SC

https://ift.tt/3d7jWwL Taking up the case of a Maoist leader charged under the tough UAPA law, the Supreme Court on Wednesday held that an undertrial cannot be indefinitely detained in prison if there is a delay in concluding the trial. The courts “would ordinarily be obligated” to grant bail if timely trial is not possible and the accused has been in jail for long, it added.
