The Calcutta High Court granted temporary bail to an undertrial accused of rape for four weeks, citing the right of undertrials to interim bail, similar to parole for convicts. The decision was based on the accused’s prolonged custody and the psychological impact, questioning why undertrials can’t be given similar leniency as convicts.
