Success Story-during lockdown by Dlsa NW
We at DLSA (NW) received a call from a lady namely Sunaina r/o Ghaziabad for help on 07.05.2020. Her grievance was that her husband was lodged in Tihar Jail despite having been granted bail by Ld. Sessions Court in March 2020 as they were unable to arrange a surety. She further told that the bail was so granted to her husband on 12.03.2020 but neither she nor her counsel was having the copy of bail order and they were unable to get one now as Courts are almost closed due to Covid-19. She prayed that efforts be made for release of her husband as she was finding it difficult to manage home with three small children.
On coming to know her plight, we first of all made efforts to get the attested copy of bail order and fortunately, due to correct details furnished by her, we got the same on next day. Thereafter, we sent the scanned copy of the bail order along with order of Hon’ble High Court titled as Court of its own motion Vs. State W. P. (Crl.)No.779/2020 dated 09.04.2020(as per which, husband of this lady was entitled to be released on his personal bond only) to jail authorities. Needful was also communicated to them through telephone. Ultimately, her husband was released from jail which was confirmed in our follow up with jail authorities. This way we could help a family in these difficult times.
