Question Description
Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.Sending a strong message down the line to lower courts, a five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court has ruled that anticipatory bail can be granted until the completion of trial. SC's verdict lamented that arbitrary and groundless arrests were still common and curtailing the discretionary power to grant anticipatory bail, which was kept wide deliberately and after due consideration, would be dangerous. Judiciary's discretion to grant bail flows out of the innocent until proven guilty dictum. And in the Indian context, anticipatory bail was found necessary because of incessant targeting of political rivals and the tendency of police to use its power of arrest even in cases that require no custodial interrogation.While anticipatory bail is generally availed by the well-heeled, the principle applied in the above judgment must also extend to thousands of under trial prisoners (UTPs) languishing in jail with no resources to bail themselves out. According to NCRB prison statistics for 2018, UTPs account for 70% of the prison population, a 25%rise from 2010, which also mirrors how the problem of pendency of trials is actually worsening with the decades. Those who can afford good lawyers and furnish sureties manage to secure bail while the poor are left behind, irrespective of the gravity of offences.Recognizing the burgeoning numbers of UTPs in jails, initiatives to free those not accused of heinous offences on personal bail (which is non-monetary) need to be stepped up. At the same time, the legal aid infrastructure that has been in the works for nearly three decades needs to be spruced up. An SC-appointed committee could find only one legal aid lawyer for every 161 prisoners after surveying data collected from 12 states. While the data is not conclusive, appointing more legal aid lawyers will definitely help. It is equally vital that advocates hired by every Legal Services Authority are proficient and dedicated to the cause they sign up for.Judges, prosecutors, and police officers also have an important role to play. Fear of UTPs absconding, especially those with no one to vouch for their credentials, hinders a more liberal bail policy. But various officers of the state would do well to remember this memorable parting line in Justice Ravindra Bhat's anticipatory bail verdict: "In conclusion, it would be useful to remind oneself that the rights which the citizens cherish deeply, are fundamental-it is not the restrictions that are fundamental."Q. What is anticipatory bail?a)Bail which can be anticipatedb)Bail which cannot be anticipatedc)Bail which is given to UTPsd)Arrest which can be anticipatedCorrect answer is option 'C'.
