A recent Supreme Court order in a UAPA (Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act) case could have a significant impact in cases where the accused remain in jail for long periods as trial drags on.
On December 11, a bench comprising Justices Sanjay Karol and N K Singh, while disagreeing with a bail order issued by the Calcutta High Court, chose not to send the accused back to prison, citing the extended period the accused had spent in jail with no sign of the trial ending anytime soon.
