Brazil's COVID-19 toll continues to rise; Priyanka Chopra proves she's a real star 1 of 4 SMART BAIL’ SYSTEM IN DUBAI A HIGHLY PRAGMATIC STEP Dubai’s Public Prosecution has taken this extremely pragmatic step of introducing a ‘Smart Bail’ system for cases that involve minor offences and misdemeanours, without requiring the suspects to deposit their passports with Public Prosecution. This, apart from reducing the load of confiscated passports on the legal system, also allows the suspects to retain their passports and use them for urgent documentation purposes while their cases are still subjudice. According to Dubai’s Attorney General, ‘Smart Bail’ or electronic bail helped reduce the waiting time for customers in the bails section of the courts by 83 per cent last year. This system is just one of the many examples of how Dubai has streamlined its judicial processes and thereby ensured an even faster dispensation of justice for one and all.
