Proviso to Section 437 of the Code mandates that when the accused is under the age of sixteen years, sick or infirm or being a woman, is something which is required to be taken note of. Obviously, the court has to satisfy itself that the accused person is sick or infirm. In a case pertaining to women, the court is expected to show some sensitivity. We have already taken note of the fact that many women who commit cognizable offences are poor and illiterate. In many cases, upon being young they have children to take care of, and there are many instances when the children are to live in prisons. The statistics would show that more than 1000 children are living in prisons along with their mothers. This is an aspect that the courts are expected to take note of as it would not only involve the interest of the accused, but also the children who are not expected to get exposed to the prisons. There is a grave danger of their being inherited not only with poverty but with crime as well." vr% mijksDr fofu'p; ,oa izdj.k ds rF;ksa] ifjfLFkfr;ksa rFkk izkFkhZ;k@vfHk;qDrk dh vfHkj{kk vof/k dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, izdj.k ds xq.k&nks"kksa ij fVIi.kh fd;s fcuk izkFkhZ;k@vfHk;qDrk dks tekur dk ykHk fn;k tkuk mfpr izrhr gksrk gSA ifj.kker% izkFkhZ;k@vfHk;qDrk 'kgukt [kku iRuh eksgEen dkfle dh vksj ls izLrqr ;g tekur izkFkZuk i= Lohdkj fd;k tkrk gS vkSj vkns'k fn;k tkrk gS fd ;fn izkFkhZ;k bl ekeys esa fo}ku fopkj.k U;k;ky; ds larks"kizn] muds U;k;ky; esa fu;r frfFk;ksa ij ,oa tc Hkh mls ryc fd;k tkos] mifLFkfr gsrq ,d yk[k :i;s dk O;fDrxr ca/ki= o ipkl&ipkl gtkj :i;s dh nks lqn`<+ ,oa fo'oluh; izfrHkwfr;ka izLrqr dj izekf.kr djkos rFkk mldh fdlh vU; izdj.k esa vko';drk u gks] rks mls gLrxr izdj.k esa tekur ij fjgk dj fn;k tkosA ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk SMWP (Criminal) No. 04/2021 In Re Policy Strategy for Grant of Bail & SLP (Cri.)
