Justice Hurried Is Justice Buried: Delhi HC Slams Trial Judge's 'Super-Fast' Procedure In Murder Trial [Read Judgment]
Live LawThe Delhi High Court, on Monday, came down heavily on a Trial Court Judge for rushing through a trial involving allegations of serious offences like murder and unnatural sex with a 14-year-old boy.Noting that the Additional Sessions Judge had allowed examination of "disproportionately" large number of prosecution witnesses on a single day, the Bench comprising Justice S. Muralidhar. The Delhi High Court, on Monday, came down heavily on a Trial Court Judge for rushing through a trial involving allegations of serious offences like murder and unnatural sex with a 14-year-old boy. Deprecating the Trial Court for examining too many witnesses in a single day, the Court observed, "At the outset, the Court is constrained to observe that this is yet another case where the learned ASJ who conducted the trial and delivered the impugned judgment has, not for the first time, in her enthusiasm for speeding up the trial process, committed a serious error by examining a disproportionately large number of prosecution witnesses on a single day." The Court went on to advice Trial Courts to provide sufficient time to the defence for their cross-examination, observing, "Although the mandate in the Cr PC is to conduct the trial on a day to day basis, it would be an extreme proposition that the entire prosecution evidence is recorded on a single day in such cases involving grave offences.
