Prayagraj (Allahabad), May 5 (PTI) The Allahabad High Court has asked judges of all district and sessions courts in the state to dispose of bail applications within two weeks in light of the recent Supreme Court judgment in the case of Satender Kumar Antil vs CBI.
The directive was issued in a communication by the registrar general of the high court, addressed to all district and sessions judges in Uttar Pradesh.
"It is the bound duty of the subordinate judiciary to follow the law of the land and even after that if people are sent to judicial custody where they are not required to and if aggrieved parties move further litigation on account of the same, the magistrates may withdraw from judicial works and be sent to the judicial academies for upgradation of their skill for some time," the letter stated.
