Punjab & Haryana Court: Downloaded Bail Orders Now Accepted
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has made it easier for people to get out of jail after being granted bail.
Now, instead of waiting for official paperwork, a person can download a copy of the bail order from the court website and have a lawyer confirm it's correct.
This change was made to prevent delays in releasing people.
The court made this decision while considering a case where a man named Amit Rana was asking to have his sentence suspended.
He was convicted in a kidnapping case, and the court decided to let him out on bail.
Punjab and Haryana High Court allows downloaded bail orders attested by advocates.
This aims to speed up the release of individuals granted bail or sentence suspension.
Downloaded copies from the court's website, attested by an advocate, are now acceptable.
The ruling came during the suspension of a sentence for Amit Rana in a 2018 kidnapping case.
Rana was convicted in a kidnapping case and has served over eight years with remission.
