NEW DELHI: The ministry of women and child development has sought relaxation in provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) to allow bail to undertrial women inmates in jails, who have spent one-third of their maximum possible sentence in detention.

The changes have been proposed to Section 436A of CrPC, which provides for release of an inmate on bail after half of the maximum sentence has been served and the new proposal is part of the recommendations of a report on ‘Women in Prisons'.

The report also recommends that a maximum time-frame may be decided for release of women prisoners after bail is granted but surety is not produced. Bail can be granted only after due scrutiny as provided under the law in such cases.

The discussion on surety is intended to ensure poor or financially dependent women do not languish in prisons, it is stated. It also states that prior to imprisonment, women with care-giving responsibilities be allowed to make arrangements for their children, and a reasonable suspension of detention may also be provided for this purpose.
