In the fifth episode of The Justice Brief, journalist Saurav Das explores the recent surge of bail orders issued by the Supreme Court of India, particularly for high-profile opposition leaders like Manish Sisodia and K Kavitha. Das highlights how the court has diluted some of the harsh provisions of the PMLA and UAPA, raising questions about the government’s ability to keep these leaders incarcerated. He also examines the critical role played by the bench of Justice BR Gavai, which has criticised the selective actions of government agencies like the ED and reiterated the legal principle that "bail is the rule, jail is the exception." More importantly, this episode examines whether these progressive principles are being followed in other cases, especially in lower courts, which often shy away from granting bail.
