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. Based on the study titled 'Women in Prison’, 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. It also
recommended exempting undertrial women from the mandatory production of surety
in court for grant of bail.
