In a recent development concerning the Northeast Delhi riots case, a Delhi court expressed its dismay over the aggressive behavior of the Special Public Prosecutor (SPP). The court highlighted an incident where the SPP, instead of acknowledging his error, began to raise his voice against the court and even went to the extent of throwing his file.

“It was ‘unfortunate’ that instead of realizing his mistake, the SPP started shouting at the court itself and threw his file.”
The situation escalated when the examination resumed after a brief pause. The court found issues with at least six questions that the SPP posed to the witness. According to the court records, the proceedings had to be halted when the SPP
“started shouting that the court is adamant not to seek an answer from the witness to his questions.”
The court further elaborated on the incident, stating,
“He was told that he has been given full freedom to dictate his question in his own language and manner, but the court has to record its observation, as per the opinion of the court, over which he cannot have any say. He continued his aggression to say that this court is biased,”
quoted by Judge Pramachala.
This incident has brought to light the challenges faced during the trial of the Northeast Delhi riots case, emphasizing the need for decorum and respect within the courtroom. The aggressive behavior of the SPP not only disrupts the proceedings but also raises questions about the impartiality and effectiveness of the judicial process.
