Lamenting that jails across the country were flooded with undertrial prisoners, the apex court urged the Centre to introduce reforms in the bail laws.
It stated that bail applications should be disposed of within two weeks while those for anticipatory bail be decided within six weeks
What is Bail?
Bail is the conditional release of a defendant with the promise to appear in court when required.
The term also means the security that is deposited in order to secure the release of the accused.
In India’s legal world, the term offense has been categorized as bailable offenses and non-bailable under the Code of Criminal Procedure.
Why need Bail?
Bail is a fundamental aspect of any criminal justice system.
The practice of bail grew out of the need to safeguard the fundamental right to liberty.
Liberty is the right of one whose guilt has not yet been proven.
Types of Bail in India
Depending upon the sage of the criminal matter, there are commonly three types of bail in India:
Regular bail: Regular bail is generally granted to a person who has been arrested or is in police custody. A bail application can be filed for regular bail under sections 437 and 439 of CrPC.
Interim bail: This type of bail is granted for a short period of time and it is granted before the hearing for the grant of regular bail or anticipatory bail.
Anticipatory bail: Anticipatory bail is granted under section 438 of CrPC either by session court or High Court. An application for the grant of anticipatory bail can be filed by the person who discerns that he may be arrested by the police for a non-bailable offense.
Conditions for Grant of Bail in Bailable Offences
Section 436 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, lays down that a person accused of a bailable offense under IPC can be granted bail if:
There are sufficient reasons to believe that the accused has not committed the offence.
There is sufficient reason to conduct a further inquiry in the matter.
The person is not accused of any offence punishable with death, life imprisonment or imprisonment up to 10 years.
Conditions for Grant of Bail in Non-Bailable Offences
Section 437 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 lays down that the accused does not have the right to apply for bail in non-bailable offences.
It is discretion of the court to grant bail in case of non-bailable offences if:
The accused is a woman or a child, bail can be granted in a non-bailable offence.
There is a lack of evidence then bail in non-Bailable offenses can be granted.
There is a delay in lodging FIR by the complainant, bail may be granted.
The accused is gravely sick.
What is the recent ruling about?
The Supreme Court underlined that arrest is a draconian measure that needs to be used sparingly.
The ruling is essentially a reiteration of several crucial principles of criminal procedure.
Why bail needs reform?
Huge pendency of undertrials: Referring to the state of jails in the country, where over two-thirds lodged are undertrials,
Indiscriminatearrests: Of this category of prisoners, majority may not even be required to be arrested despite registration of a cognizable offense, being charged with offenses punishable for seven years or less.
Disadvantageous for some sections: They are not only poor and illiterate but also would include women. Thus, there is a culture of offense being inherited by many of them.
Colonial legacy: Theoretically, the court also linked the idea of indiscriminate arrests to magistrates ignoring the rule of “bail, not jail” to a colonial mindset.
Is there any bail law on bail?
The CrPC does not define the word bail but only categories offenses under the Indian Penal Code as ‘bailable’ and ‘non-bailable’.
The CrPC empowers magistrates to grant bail for bailable offenses as a matter of right.
This would involve release on furnishing a bail bond, without or without security.
And what is UK law?
The Bail Act of the United Kingdom, 1976, prescribes the procedure for granting bail.
A key feature is that one of the aims of the legislation is “reducing the size of the inmate population”.
The law also has provisions for ensuring legal aid for defendants.
The Act recognises a “general right” to be granted bail.
What has the Supreme Court held on reforms?
The court’s ruling is in the form of guidelines, and it also draws the line on certain procedural issues for the police and judiciary:
Separate law on Bail: The court underlined that the CrPC, despite amendments since Independence, largely retains its original structure as drafted by a colonial power over its subjects.
Uniform exercise of discretionary powers: It also highlighted that magistrates do not necessarily
Avoid indiscriminate arrests: The SC also directed all state governments and Union Territories to facilitate standing orders to comply with the orders and avoid indiscriminate arrests.
Way forward
Bail Law would certainly take care of not only the unwarranted arrests but also the clogging of bail applications before various courts.
With restrictive bail conditions and a conservative view on bail, we may forget the meaning of personal liberty, which is the greatest of human freedoms enjoyed in India.
A houseful seminar was conducted by CivilsDaily a few days back. The foundation stone for a balanced success in UPSC, along with MPSC has been successfully placed in Pune. Yes, Civilsdaily has reached Maharashtra (Pune).
Sajal sir addressing aspirants from Maharashtra
CivilsDaily is back with the promise of helping you meet rankers from Maharashtra. This time we have our student and would-be-IAS Vaibhav Kajale who secured an AIR 325, UPSC 2021.
MPSC changes pattern: Aligned with UPSC, to be implemented from 2023
Maharashtra PSC has recently released a notification citing changes in the pattern. Now the main examination will be subjective/descriptive in nature (essay type answers) instead of objective (MCQ type) questions. Also, an Ethics paper has also been introduced, modern history will also be included.
From earlier 6 papers in MPSC Mains now we will have 9 papers, with total marks now standing at 1750 in Mains, closely resembling UPSC’s pattern.

Closely resembling the UPSC pattern
Implications of this change
It has certainly made MPSC mains more comprehensive, requiring a wide-based knowledge just like UPSC.
It will be easier for UPSC aspirants to prepare for MPSC and vice-versa.
It improve the percentage of Marathi candidates appearing and clearing UPSC as the paper pattern is almost the same.
It will give equal opportunity to those from rural as well as urban areas. Now every candidate must play on a level playing field.
For those UPSC aspirants who have exhausted their attempts, they would find it easier to appear and crack MPSC.
Aspirants who will reappear in 2023 will have to consider it as a fresh attempt as they have to study almost from scratch.
All these pose an opportunity as well as a challenge for aspirants but for sure it calls for a change in strategy.

In this article, we shall discuss some very popular and important modern tech terms.
This is just an introductory article. All these technologies will be discussed in detail in subsequent articles.
Blockchain Technology
A system whereby information about transactions is stored on a countless comuters spread across the glob.
It is considered an alternative to the conventional banking system.
Along with banks, this also applies to mobile payment system.
NFTs
The success of Blockchain as an independent means of storing and authenticating information has created many more inoovations, one of these is Non Fungible Token or NFT.
Here the information is stored in the blockchain system itself, especially in a system called ethereum.
Under NFT system a kind of digital certificate is issued that such an original thing unique in the world.
IOT
Internet of Things or, more accurately the internet of devices, is all about connecting devices over the internet and letting them ‘talk’ to us, applications and each other.
This allows huge amounts of data to be collected and transferred, which can then be used for multiple practical purposes.
However, Internet of Things doesn’t necessarily have to be connected to the internet, it can also be a network of things.
A common example are wristwatches with sensors that can track the wearers’ heartbeat and pass on the information to our smartphones via bluetooth.
The smartphone can store that data on cloud after which it can be accessed at any point of time to view a report card of how your heart has been behaving for over a period of a week or a month.
Metaverse
A simplistic way to look at the metaverse is as a parallel, virtual, world where users can have different identities, possessions and characters.
In the complex explanation, Metaverse is supposed to be the post-Internet world, a decentralised computing platform of sorts if you will, which is continuous, and live.
It is an entirely digital economy, and the way most Silicon valley intellectuals see this, metaverse exists both in the digital and physical realm.
Virtual reality would be an element of this metaverse, but the idea goes beyond just donning a VR headset and starting to play a game.
According to Ball, the metaverse does not reset or pause or end, but “continues indefinitely.”
Metaverse is not something that just one company can build. Nor is Facebook the only one working on this. Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, has big plans for the metaverse using its unreal engine.
In fact, Fortnite already has many elements which would conform to the idea such as live events, its own currency, etc.
Quantum Computing
The Quantum computing is much talked about because of its infinite power.
A Quantum computer can perform calculations millions of times faster than a normal computer, and that is why it can prove to be a boon for humanity.
Traditional computers work based on a fundamental unit of binary digits(0-1 Bit).
On the other hand the quantum computers adopts qubit(quantum bit).
The qubit value can be 0, 1 or both.
Artificial Intelligence
AI refers to ability of human beings to learn analyse think, understand, solve problems, make decision, etc, similar to human being.
Machines equipped with AI will become powerful and intelligent and compete with human beings capabilities. For example features like machine translation, voice-to-text conversion and voice assistance these days are reached to us because of AI.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing implies using the resources available on the internet on your computers or devices.
Cloud computing has made vast computational power and storage space available to us, and technology like AI is required for its calculations.

There is no doubt that UPSC Prelims could be the toughest stage. It is the great filter that weeds out the not so serious candidates but at times many serious ones too.
While there could be many reasons for failing in Prelims like insufficient syllabus coverage, mocks or test series not attempted, no proper planning, lack of conceptual understanding, etc but the major one is lack of guidance, preparation analysis and course correction at regular intervals.
Tavishi failed thrice in the Prelims before but after joining Santosh sir’s mentorship cleared Prelim 2022 in her 4th attempt. Schedule a call with Tavishi’s mentor
Moreover, aspirants must be prepared for the googlies thrown at them by UPSC in the Prelims (new things being tried out by UPSC- like options, topics, etc).
To bridge this gap we had introduced Smash Prelims program under Santosh Gupta sir last year and the results were amazing.
