Supreme Court Summons Jailer Over Prisoner's Non-Release After Bail
A person was supposed to be let out of jail because a court said they could go free.
Even though the court said it was okay, the person is still in jail.
The Supreme Court is upset because the jail didn't follow the court's order.
The court wants to know why the person is still locked up.
The court has ordered the jail supervisor to come to court and the top prison officer to come too to explain why this is happening.
Supreme Court expressed displeasure over a prisoner's continued detention despite being granted bail.
The court ordered the Ghaziabad jailer to appear in person and the UP DGP (Prisons) via video conference.
The petitioner was granted bail on April 29, 2025, but remains incarcerated.
The jail's reason for non-release is the omission of a sub-clause in the bail order.
