“An Act of God No Doubt But Which One?”, 19 February 2021

 Item
Identifier: UB-005-01-06-156

“Anticipatory Bail: Inching Towards Article 21?”, 8 February 2020

 Item
Identifier: UB-005-01-06-124
Abstract This article discusses the evolution of "Anticipatory Bail" (Section 438 CrPC) as a shield against arbitrary arrest and political vendetta.
