The Supreme Court appointed its former judge Hrishikesh Roy as the Bihar Cricket Association ombudsman after Justice Abhay S Oka declined to continue, saying the role involved an adjudicatory function he preferred not to undertake at this time.
The Bombay High Court criticized the mishandling of evidence and trial procedures by police and judiciary, leading to the wrongful conviction of Anand Sakpal. It highlighted systemic issues and directed judicial training on evidence handling. Justice Modak’s ruling resulted in Sakpal’s acquittal, emphasizing the need for ongoing improvement in the judicial process.
