In a latest high court decision, a member of the public accused murder was granted bail although facing charges for seven years and nine months. The court referred to previous rulings, such as Indrani Pratim Mukerjea vs CBI when bail was granted because of lengthy incarceration, and V. Senthil Balaji vs the Deputy Director, Directorate of Enforcement which drew attention to the fact that delay in the trial should be considered when granting bail. he Court emphasized that lengthy imprisonment without trial infringes basic human right as endowed by the Constitution of India's Article 21--the right to a speedy and public trial.
