JAIDEEP KUMAR SRIVASTAVA vs STATE OF U.P. — W.P.(Crl.) No. 56/2026

Summary: The Supreme Court heard a writ petition by Jaideep Kumar Srivastava (victim's legal heir) concerning three criminal revision petitions pending before the Allahabad High Court since February 5, 2020, with no judgment pronounced despite years of delay. The Court invoked Article 139A(1) of the Constitution to withdraw all three criminal revision petitions (Crl. Rev. Nos. 1678, 1874, and 1900 of 2012) from the High Court to itself for disposal, finding that continued inaction violates fundamental rights and delays speedy justice in a 30-year-old criminal case. The Allahabad High Court was directed to transmit the complete case records within three weeks, after which the Supreme Court will constitute an appropriate bench to decide these revisions.
