Bail in criminal cases and how it needs to be revamped.

The criminal jurisprudence is imbued with drawbacks and by virtue of such an instance , our bail jurisprudence in itself is hampered. Bail in criminal cases, emanate out of criminal laws that are relics of a colonial time. The comparison, if drawn, between reformation for criminal law, and the requisite reformation of other spheres of law, it would be seen that meagre effort has been put into the amendment, and reformation of the criminal laws, when compared to its contemporary branches of law. The government and its branches have been focusing on quite a few different branches, and have been doing so rightly, being, health, nutrition, education, so on and so forth, but in the process have grievously forgotten that bail laws, at the very crux, affect the liberty of a common man, in the most draconian of ways. Progress since the independence of India, in the field of bail in criminal cases has been negligible, The 21st Law of Commission of India, in its 268th report, in 2017, went on to term the system of bail in India as, “Inadequate” in its first concluding line. Lord Denning, had given bail jurisprudence, the pride of place, in the pantheon of liberty issues, wherein he stated that irrespective of the number of matters before a judge, the highest priority should be given to the matters that pertain to bail, because under the aegis of law, personal liberty of the common man is one of the most important facets, of law.
