Supreme Court flags delay in listing of bail application for more than a year before Haryana High Court
A “shocked” Supreme Court found that a bail application had not even been listed for hearing for more than a year before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, that too at a time when judiciary is going the extra distance to hear cases virtually.
A Vacation Bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and V. Ramasubramanian noted that “denial of hearing is an infringement of right and liberty assured to an accused”.
