To The Point Debate: Rule of Bench vs Rule of Law? Supreme Court Bail Orders Spark Legal Debate

0 January 7, 2026 11:58

A panel of legal experts discusses the perceived inconsistencies in recent Supreme Court bail judgments, specifically comparing outcomes in UAPA and PMLA cases. The debate explores whether the ‘rule of bench’ is superseding the ‘rule of law,’ with speakers highlighting that while bail provisions in both acts are similar, judicial interpretation varies significantly. One speaker notes that ‘bail is thereafter the exception and jail is the rule’ under stringent laws, while others emphasize the court’s discretion and the impact of delayed trials on the fundamental right to liberty under Article 21. The discussion also touches on the resources of the judiciary and the need for consistency in legal principles.
