No more long dates in bail matters; two benches will hear bail petitions: Gujarat High Court CJ Sunita Agarwal
The practice of giving long dates was criticised by the Supreme Court last year when the High Court while issuing 'rule' in the bail application filed by activist Teesta Setalvad, had adjourned her plea for six weeks.
Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal of the Gujarat High Court on Tuesday said she has issued instructions against giving long dates in bail matters and hearing of bail petitions would get streamlined within a month.
