Abstract	The goal of the criminal justice administration system is to strike a balance between two interests: the interests of the accused on the one hand and the interests of society at large on the other. The provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as the Cr.P.C.) attempt to strike this balance. But is it actually being implemented? No, it does not. The pitiful situation of the under-trial detainees is clear evidence of this. Because seeing the conditions of under-trial prisoners in Indian jails reveals that access to justice, and more specifically, access to court, is a pipe dream for many of them. Despite the fact that the Cr.P.C., the Indian Constitution, and many international treatiesThe Indian prison reality depicts jails overflowing with under trial prisoners, the majority of whom are from poor and marginalised communities. Despite landmark decisions by the Supreme Court and other high courts, thousands of them remain imprisoned.
