Presumption of innocence is a right and liberty and of course has a paramount importance in our Indian constitution. Most of the society has a false image of prisoners in their mind, they think that prisoners are hardcore criminals imprisoned for alleged crime. But the truth is that prisoners also includes under trails who may or may not be punished because many of them are arrested on suspicion for committing crimes including petty crimes. These under trials remain in jail for a much longer period than the maximum punishment given for that alleged offence for which he is suspected as a offender. This paper is an attempt to analyse the human rights aspects of under trials, problems faced by the under trails, quality of legal aid given to them. In addition, it also analyses the finance system of bails that exists in our democratic country.
