Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Sunday said trial judges prefer playing safe by not granting bail on important issues of crime when it is looked at with a degree of suspicion.The CJI underlined the need for a ‘sense of robust common sense’ to look at the nitty-gritty of each case. “People who should be getting bail in the trial courts and not getting it there, as a result of which, they have to invariably move the high courts. People who should be getting bail in the high courts will not necessarily get it, as a result of which, they have to move to the Supreme Court. This delay compounds the problem of those who are facing arbitrary arrests,” the CJI said.
