Supreme Court Urges Jharkhand Judges to Finalize Verdicts
The Supreme Court is asking judges in Jharkhand to take some time off to finish writing their decisions in cases that have been waiting for a long time.
This is because many cases have been heard but the judges haven't announced their decisions yet.
The Supreme Court wants these decisions made quickly so people can get answers.
Some of these cases are about people who applied for jobs, and others are about people who have been found guilty of crimes.
The court has identified many cases awaiting judgements and has urged the judges to prioritise their responsibilities.
Supreme Court suggested Jharkhand HC judges use leave to clear pending verdicts.
The court cited 61 cases where judgments are pending.
Justices told the HC counsel to convey their suggestion to the Chief Justice.
The order followed complaints of delays, some cases dating back to 2022.
The SC previously addressed delays, including cases of home guard recruitment and convict appeals.
