|August 24, 2024

The order came on a Public Interest Litigation to address the issue of overcrowding of prisons in India. Senior advocate Gaurav Aggarwal had told the court earlier that if BNSS Section 479 is implemented in its letter and spirit, it will help resolve the problem of overcrowding in prisons.
