Prolonged detention without trial violates Article 21 rights; co-accused receiving bail strengthens the case for bail.
A delay in trial, especially for undertrial prisoners, infringes upon their rights under Article 21 of the Constitution.
Excessive use of arrest as a measure should be avoided, especially in cases where the accused is charged with offences punishable for seven years or less.
