The Allahabad High Court revealed that UP police often pressure judges, especially CJMs, to deliver specific rulings. The Court warned, “Dekhiye isko na police State nai banane dena (We can’t allow this).”
The Delhi High Court has re-designated Magisterial Courts in the National Capital Territory under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, effective from July 1, 2024. The re-designation reclassifies the courts and ensures continuity with the previous court structure, transferring all judicial powers and functions previously vested in Chief Metropolitan Magistrates to the newly re-designated courts.
