MADRAS HIGH COURT 

Train executive magistrates on basic law, Madras high court tells Tamil Nadu government (NOV 2, 2022)

Coming across cases where executive magistrates are passing detention orders against persons for breaching the bond conditions in a mechanical manner without conducting a proper inquiry, Madras high court suggested the government to conduct training or refresher courses for them.

Police after losing their cases before the regular courts are now attempting to punish the accused and detain them in prison through a back door method by invoking the provisions of Chapter VIII of CrPC, which contains provisions relating to bond for keeping peace and good behaviour and also the consequences emanating from the breach of such bond, observed the judge.
