JUDICIARY is straining under the weight of bail applications and anticipatory bail applications, said former chief justice of Orissa High Court S Muralidhar, expressing concern over the huge backlog of bail applications in courts across the country.
'Judiciary straining under weight of bail applications'

Delivering the Rakesh Endowment Lecture series for justice and equity on the topic 'guilty till proved innocent', dark areas of criminal jurisprudence, Justice Muralidhar said the percentage of cases in the Supreme Court's docket of bail applications and anticipatory bail applications has been increasing, meaning applicants are coming to the apex court for bail.

He further stated that the scenario explains there is rejection of bail applications in eight out of 10 cases in trial courts, six out of 10 cases in high courts, compelling people to go to the Supreme Court for relief. Justice Muralidhar said stringent bail provisions have shifted the burden of proving innocence on the accused himself.
