New Delhi, Feb. 5 -- Expressing "extreme disappointment" over delays in deciding bail pleas that directly affect personal liberty, the Supreme Court on Wednesday sought detailed reports from all high courts on the pendency of bail and sentence suspension applications across the country, urging judges to expedite the disposal of such matters. "We strongly disapprove of not passing orders in the matters of bail. What is bothering is that such matters are kept pending. You dismiss the application if you do not want to give bail. Let them come in appeal. But how can you keep such matters pending?...Nothing can be more important than deciding the fate of a prayer to grant or refuse bail," said a bench, led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant. The bench, also comprising justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi, underlined that prolonged pendency of such applications undermines the fundamental right to personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution, as it came across a case from Haryana where a bail application had remained pending for months before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The bench also flagged the situation in the Patna High Court, observing that bail applications there were "not even listed for months"....
