What purpose is solved by keeping a person in judicial custody for 5-7 or 10-15 days who is alleged to have committed some crime such as dowry harassment i.e. 498A or like any other minor offence. Normally, the person is sent to judicial custody and after few days, he/she is granted bail.
Does this solve any purpose or is it just the normal practice which is followed without having any reasonable reason and cause.
