Sir-While repealing POTA, Home Minister
Shivraj Patil has said the strict bail provisions of the law went
against normal practices of jurisprudence and that an accused should
get bail, till his trial begins to be conducted. One is indeed bewildered
at the Minister's warped sense of justice. While the Shankaracharya
languishes in judicial custody and is being denied bail, provisions
are being made for a terrorist to walk away from the court with a
legally sanctioned bail!
