Today, On 3rd December, Supreme Court granted bail to former Rajasthan minister Mahesh Joshi after he spent nearly seven months in custody in the PHED money laundering case. The Bench, hearing his special leave petition, found grounds to set-aside earlier bail refusals.
NEW DELHI: Today,(28th Jan): The Union government has decided not to act on the Supreme Court’s suggestion to create a separate law on bail. The government believes that the recent changes in criminal laws, especially the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which came into effect in July 2024, already address the concerns about pre-trial detention and related issues.
