Expansion
The courts are tired of giving dates after dates in criminal cases pending for 40 years in Allahabad District Court. Now the case files will wait for the accused in cold storage. Many dates were given in these years but the police could not present the plaintiff, accused and witnesses. The court was forced to postpone the proceedings. The court ordered to keep the files safe in the office. Now no dates will be given on these files until the accused are found. Currently, the court has issued a permanent warrant against the absconding accused.
case 1
State vs. Sanjoy Ghose
This case is of Kotwali police station area. A case of criminal breach of trust was registered against the accused Sanjay Ghosh in 1984. This case is punishable with seven years imprisonment and fine. Several dates were fixed in this case, bailable and non-bailable warrants were issued but the accused remained absconding. The police told the court that no person named Sanjay Ghosh lives at the given address. When the court summoned witnesses and evidence, the police failed to produce them as well. Therefore, the court ordered the files to be filed in the office.
