    Solution

    Explanation: As per the CrPC, if an accused has spent half of the maximum period of imprisonment in detention, he must be released on personal bond.  This does not apply to offences punishable by death.  The Bill adds that this provision will also not apply to: (i) offences punishable by life imprisonment, and (ii) persons against whom proceedings are pending in more than one offence. The Bill mandates forensic investigation for offences punishable with at least seven years of imprisonment.  The Bill prescribes timelines for various procedures.
