'While Public Going Wild On Social Media Over Court Delays...' : Allahabad HC Slams Litigant Objecting To Speedy Court Proceedings

Live Law  

In a scathing observation, the Allahabad High Court recently slammed a litigant who moved the court against the swift proceedings in a case under the UP Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1953. A bench of Justice JJ Munir observed that it was ironic that while social media and public platforms often criticize the judiciary for prolonged court proceedings and frequent adjournments, a member of the same public when appearing as a litigant, was objecting to swift court proceedings. “It is indeed ironical that the public at large are seen going wild on all public platforms and social media, criticizing delays in Courts and repeating that courts adjourn cases by fixing 'date after dates' which they repeat ad nauseam, and, yet, when a member of the same body of the public is in Court as a litigant, he objects to the fact, as in this case, that the Court seeks to proceed in the matter with dispatch,” the court observed in its order. The counsel for the petitioner also referred to the order sheet of the proceedings wherein the Consolidation Officer himself acknowledged the fact that he was under pressure from the other side. In fact, the Court reproved the petitioner for questioning the intentions of the Consolidation Officer merely because he chose to proceed with the matter quickly.
