General Guidelines Issued By The HC Cannot Override Directions Given By Supreme Court On Judicial Side: SC [Read Order]

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday rapped a local Court in Madhya Pradesh for its failure to complete trial in a rape case, despite explicit orders to do so within six months. The bench comprising Justices AM Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and Sanjiv Khanna rejected the explanation rendered by the Trial Court with regard to hearing of only urgent cases amid the Covid crisis and sternly remarked that all concerned are expected to comply with the Top Court's orders in its letter and spirit, without any demur. Finding this reason to be 'unacceptable', the bench proceeded to observe, "General guidelines issued by the High Court cannot override the direction given by this Court on the judicial side in the given case, which the concerned Court and all concerned are expected to comply with without any demur in its letter and spirit, unless relaxed by this Court." Though the Top Court had refused to interfere with the said order, it had directed the trial Court to conclude the trial within six months.
