Prosecutor Calls for Case‑Based Assignments in India
Pradeep Gharat is a special prosecutor in India who says the justice system is slow and unfair.
He thinks prosecutors should get the case first, not just the court.
He helped in big cases like the fake stamp paper scam and a hit‑and‑run involving a famous actor.
He says investigators should record evidence right away and use technology like phone records.
He wants prosecutors to study the case carefully before going to court, so trials finish faster and more fairly.
Pradeep Gharat criticizes the practice of assigning prosecutors to courts instead of cases.
He was chosen for the Telgi fake stamp paper scam after Anna Hazare filed a petition.
Gharat handled the Salman Khan hit‑and‑run case, focusing on evidence over celebrity image.
He urges investigators to record evidence in real time and prosecutors to prepare thoroughly.
He stresses the importance of scientific evidence, call data records, and caution with social media evidence.
