Explanation:

Recently, many members of the Tablighi Jamaat belonging to different countries have obtained release from court cases by means of plea bargaining.

• Plea bargaining refers to a person charged with a criminal offence negotiating with the prosecution for a lesser punishment than what is provided in law by pleading guilty.
• It is common in the United States, and has been a successful method. It primarily involves pre-trial negotiations between the accused and the prosecutor. It may involve bargaining on the charge or in the quantum of sentence.
• In India, the concept of plea bargaining was not part of law until 2006 and comes as part of a set of amendments to the CrPC as Chapter XXI-A, containing Sections 265A to 265L.
• In India, the process of plea bargaining can be initiated only by the accused; further, the accused will have to apply to the court for invoking the benefit of bargaining.
• Only someone who has been charge sheeted for an offence that does not attract the death sentence, life sentence or a prison term above seven years can make use of the scheme. It is also applicable to private complaints of which a criminal court has taken cognisance.

Hence all statements are correct.
