The bail gadget is linked inextricably to property and financial nicely-being of the accused, that means thereby that accused men and women with means.”

Noting that there may be “growing dissatisfaction” about the gadget, Gowda said that though it is a uniform and affordable provision in theory, “in practice it does not prove to be so”.
