Delay in judicial system

Curse of 304b dowry death





Most important issue which is related to the slow judicial procedure in india. The said dowry death took place on 06.09 1989. The Trial Court pronounced its decision on 03.10.1991 after two years of Janki Devi’s death.
The first appeal happened to be decided by the High Court on 05.07.2004 which is more than 12 years later. A petition for special leave to appeal was filed in the Apex Court in 2004 and  leave was granted only after a time gap of 4 years in 2008.
Thereafter this appeal was listed for hearing in 2008 instead of a petition of 2004 thereby passing 4 years of its age in this Court. And after listing of the case it  took another 5 years for its disposal, a total of nine years spent in the Court after filing the case. This much time can easily jeopardize career, mental, physical behavior of any innocent person. So it is my sincere request to all citizen of this country to take necessary action on their part. 

Entire judgement can be read on apex court site under.

Criminal Appeal No.1022 of 2008 (Supreme Court of India)
