The Delhi High Court today extended the period of release of undertrial prisoners on interim bail by a further period of 45 days. (Court on its own motion vs State - Re: Interim bail extension)
The period of extended 45 days shall begin from the date on which one's interim bail is expiring.
Presently, close to three thousand undertrials are out on interim bail in a bid to decongest city jails to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
