SHIMLA: Observing that pregnant women need bail, not jail, the Himachal Pradesh high court allowed on Saturday the petition of a pregnant woman accused in a Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act case.
Justice Anoop Chitkara also said that temporary bail or suspension of sentence, extending to a year after delivery, must be allowed even when the offences are very grave and accusations very severe.
The HC made it plain that even those who stand convicted and their appeals closed deserve similar relief in whatever camouflage it may come.
“What difference will it make to the state and society by postponing incarceration? The heavens will not fall if incarceration is postponed. There should be no restraints throughout pregnancy, no restraints during labour and delivery, and no restraints at least for a year after giving birth. Every expecting female deserves dignity during motherhood,” Justice Chitkara said.
