Delhi High Court Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya criticised the rising number of adjournments sought by lawyers, saying courts are wrongly blamed for delays. The bench remarked that many proxy counsels appear only to seek adjournments without knowing the case.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday questioned whether Section 306 IPC could apply in the suicide case of IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, who accused senior officials of caste-based harassment. The Court asked the petitioner to show any Supreme Court ruling where conviction was based on similar allegations.
