The Supreme Court of India has directed the Union of India to consider a new Bail Law in line with the 2022 Satender Kumar Antil judgment. The Court emphasized the need for compliance oversight and evaluating the necessity of establishing additional Special Courts in districts with high case pendency. The 2022 judgment recommended introducing a specialized enactment resembling the UK’s Bail Act to streamline the bail-granting process. The Court issued a series of measures to ensure the proper implementation of arrest procedures and timely disposal of bail pleas.
