CrPC Section 437(6) | Mandatory Bail After 60-Day Trial Delay from First Evidence Date: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court ruled that an accused is statutorily entitled to bail if the trial remains unconcluded beyond 60 days from the first date fixed for taking evidence, reinforcing the right to liberty under CrPC Section 437(6). This holding mandates judicial compliance with statutory timelines, ensuring procedural fairness for undertrial prisoners.
