KRISHNA KUMAR PANDEY @ KAKKU PANDEY vs STATE OF U.P. . — Crl.A. No. 491/2010

Summary of Crl.A. No. 491/2010 (Hearing dated 19/10/2012): The Supreme Court expressed serious concern over the District Judiciary's failure to comply with its previous directions to dispose of Gangster Case No. 120 of 2008 before the Special Judge, Faizabad. Despite an order from September 2010 directing completion within two months, the trial remained pending after two years, with the presiding judge having recused himself. The Court directed the Acting Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court to ensure the case be disposed of by 31st December 2012, with authority to transfer the trial to another Special Judge if necessary. All related miscellaneous petitions were disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
