At this rate the government will go Bankrupt once it has paid every detainee: Supreme Court has demanded prisoners held in one jail be released immediately and paid 5000 rupees per day for each day of detention.
Just to give you a ballpark figure according to Pak Lawyers Forum - there are some 10,800 prisoners languishing in jail that we know about. Sindh has close to 2000. You can do the maths.
This is a much needed step by the court.
The cops arrest someone on pointless charges, or just keep them in jail, ruin their lives, and torture them. The court orders a release, and then what?
The cops get away without any repercussions. If their are no repercussions for the cops they will keep on doing it again.
