Allahabad High Court Eases Bail Rules for Poor Undertrials

Allahabad High Court Eases Bail Rules for Poor Undertrials

The Allahabad High Court made it easier for poor people awaiting trial to get out of jail.

Now, instead of needing two people to promise they'll show up for court, they only need one.

The court also told judges to think about how much money someone has before setting bail, making it easier for those with less money.

If someone can't find anyone to vouch for them, the legal aid will help.

Also, if someone is charged but wasn't arrested, they don't have to go to jail, they just have to promise to come to court.

This is expected to help many people stuck in jail because they couldn't afford to meet the old rules.
