'Typical Illustration Of Miscarriage Of Justice'; Rajasthan HC Shocked Over A 1981 Suit Still Stuck At Defence Evidence Stage
Live LawWhile giving directions to expedite the trial in a suit pending for over 40 years, Rajasthan High Court has recently come down heavily on the long pendency of revenue suits in the state. Consequently, High Court also asked the Chief Secretary to constitute an 'Arrears Review Committee' to monitor the progress in the oldest pending revenue cases every three months. The single-judge bench of Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand has also emphasised the importance of the revenue courts strictly adhering to the set of directions issued by the apex court in Yashpal Jain v. Sushila Devi & Ors 2023 LiveLaw 916. Noting that its high time to issue directions specifically meant for revenue courts, the bench sitting at Jaipur demanded strict adherence to the Yashpal Jain directives and SOPs issued by the apex court.
