Kolkata Police Develops Trial Monitoring App
The Kolkata Police is creating a special app to keep track of old court cases that have been waiting for a long time.
This app will help police officers, lawyers, and judges see all the important details about these cases, like who has testified and when the next hearing is.
The goal is to make sure these cases move forward quickly and that the guilty people are punished.
There are 360 old cases that need attention, and the app will help everyone involved stay organized and informed.
However, there are still some challenges, like witnesses not showing up or accused people not appearing in court, which can slow things down.
Kolkata Police is developing a Trial Monitoring App to track 360 old pending cases.
The app will provide comprehensive case information to police, prosecutors, and court officials.
Key features include case status, witness testimony, accused custody, and hearing dates.
Notable cases include the Park Street fire tragedy and the Dhakuria hospital fire.
Challenges such as witness absenteeism and officer transfers can hinder the trial process.
