Why are India’s lower courts so reluctant to grant undertrials bail?

Trial court judges can face backlash for being liberal while giving bail, including complaints, career setbacks and adverse remarks from the higher judiciary.

Even though bail is supposed to be the rule and jail an exception, this principle is not followed in practice. Courts, especially trial courts, are slow to grant bail, resulting in three out of every four prisoners being undertrials. A majority of these prisoners may not required to be imprisoned.
