Jharkhand HC Issues Verdicts on Delayed Appeals
Some people who had been waiting a long time for the court to make a decision about their cases asked the highest court for help.
The court then told another court to quickly decide on these cases.
This other court made decisions on 10 cases in one week, including some where people were sentenced to death.
The highest court is now looking at whether other courts are taking too long to make decisions and will set some rules to make sure things move faster.
Jharkhand High Court delivered verdicts in a week on appeals pending for years.
The Supreme Court intervened after convicts complained about delays in judgment.
Verdicts were delivered on 10 convicts, including six on death row.
The court addressed cases of both death row and life sentence convicts.
The Supreme Court has requested reports on pending judgments from all High Courts.
