Karnataka HC: Maintain a register of sureties and use Aadhaar to authenticate the identity of the surety
When any surety is provided for the release of an accused on bail, authorities must abide by a number of directives issued by the Karnataka High Court. The bench made the observation that multiple reports that were submitted to the court indicate this is not an isolated event. It further noted that situations of this nature have occurred on numerous occasions, and in some cases, investigations and legal action have been taken. Unless sufficient measures are adopted, innocent third parties would continue to be at danger.
