Justice Bhushan R Gavai of the Supreme Court has noted a troubling trend in which bail petitions are increasingly being presented before the supreme court due to refusals in lower courts, including district and high courts.

During the 'bhoomi pujan' of a new court building in Pimpri Chinchwad, Maharashtra's Pune district, Justice Gavai revealed that each bench of the Supreme Court now hears between 15 to 20 bail cases every day, reported PTI.
