NEW DELHI: Some "out of the box thinking" is needed to save judicial time and unclutter the system, the Supreme Court Tuesday said while asking the Centre to apprise it of the developments on the suggestion to look into the issue of accused who are in custody for long time pending trial for a single incident.
In August last year, the apex court had observed when the country is celebrating 75th year of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, it is an appropriate time to explore and look into the issue of accused, who have been incarcerated for a long period of time or who may be from weaker economic and social sections of society with a single incident involved, as to what administrative orders can be issued in such a scenario to give relief to them.
