CLAP started a program to realize the mandate of Section 436 (A) of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. According to this section a prisoner is entitled to bail if he had already spend half of the terms in prisons that he could have been awarded if he is found guilty in the end of trial. The objective of this program is to ensure that no under trail prisoners be detained beyond the maximum period of imprisonment for the alleged offence.
We have already secured permission from Inspector General of Prison to run this program throughout state of Jharkhand and we have already met the Jail Superintend of Central Prison at Hotwar, Ranchi to start this program from there. We are in the process of collecting data with respect to such prisoners.
