Supreme Court Judge Advocates Home Custody for Petty Offenders

A Supreme Court judge in India suggested that people who commit small crimes or are low-risk should be allowed to stay at home instead of going to jail.

This idea uses technology like GPS to keep track of them.

The judge thinks this could help reduce the number of people in overcrowded prisons.

Currently, many prisons in India are very full, with a lot of people waiting for their trials.

Other countries like South Korea and the UK already use similar systems.

Experts say this could be a good change because it might help people stay out of trouble and make prisons less crowded.

However, they also say it's important to protect people's privacy and make sure the system is fair.
