Need for Regulator to monitor conducts of accused released on bail

Police and Chief Public Prosecutor are duty bound to report to court if some accused is violating conditions of bail. But that is not being done. In India, criminal law depends too much on people to come forward to complain at take risks to their life in doing so. If criminal is released on bail on some conditions, and if he violates condition, unless someone comes and files application for cancellation of bail, the court is helpless. The complainants are mostly victims who cannot come to complain without increasing risk on them. An independent authority is needed to move such applications.
