Judges Reluctant To Grant Bail For Fear Of Being Targeted: Chief Justice
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Saturday said judges at the grassroots are reluctant to grant bail due to the fear of being targeted. At a felicitation event organised by the Bar Council of India, CJI Chandrachud said, "The higher judiciary is flooded with bail applications due to reluctance at grassroots to grant bail. Judges at the grassroots are reluctant to grant bail not because they do not understand crime, but there is a sense of fear of being targeted for granting bail in heinous cases."
