Landmark Case: Hussainara Khatoon and Anr vs State of Bihar

Yeh case to everyone jaante hain, magar mujhe to lagta hai ki iska effect poori India par raha hai. Yeh case 1979 mein Supreme Court ne sunwayaa, jismein logon ko jail se jail chhodne ka order mila, tab jab inka trial nahin hora tha! Bas, log jail mein 3 saal se jyada hokar bhi free na ho rahe the. Court ne CrPC 482 ke under section 309 ka kaam diya, jismein HC ke pass jail chhode jaane ka adhikar hota hai. Bas, aapko pata hai ki iska effect hua kya? Logon ko jail se jail chhodne ka adhikar mil gaya!
