BACHCHE LAL YADAV vs AKHAND PRATAP SINGH — MA 788/2018

Summary of MA 788/2018 - Bachche Lal Yadav v. Akhand Pratap Singh In this criminal matter before the Supreme Court, petitioner Bachche Lal Yadav pursued proceedings against absconding accused Akhand Pratap Singh across multiple hearings from May 2018 to January 2020. The key issue was the prolonged trial delay caused by the accused remaining absconding. Throughout the proceedings, the Court repeatedly directed the State of Uttar Pradesh to arrest the accused, expressed frustration with inadequate police efforts, and mandated status reports from law enforcement. In the final order dated January 7, 2020, the Court disposed of the application after the accused was arrested and placed in judicial custody, directing the District and Sessions Judge of Azamgarh to complete the trial by end of 2020.
