After spending more than seven years in custody without his trial finishing, a man accused of murder was recently released on bail by the Allahabad High Court.Justice Krishan Pahal said he was sorry to have had kept the applicant for so long, but insisted that it was unjust and unnecessary below an honest expectation his trial would finish.The applicant's initial application for bail was turned down in 2020, this knocked him off balance and caused him to make a second application in 2024 because his trial had not got underway.
