Justice Delayed But Not Denied

Comments-

In the present case the offence was committed in year 2009 and the final judgement of the Supreme Court has come in the year 2024. It took almost 15 years long, judicial battle, and finally, the offender was awarded punishment of sentence of six month S.I. under section 304A of Indian penal code 1860 and fine of rupees ₹1000 for the offence committed. During this long legal battle, this case came across through the trial court which awarded the initial punishment, after that first appellate court then High Court and finally reached to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court dismissed the petition with remark that “this appeal does not warrant any interference and is hereby dismissed.” The Supreme Court’s judgment is final, as there is no higher court above Supreme Court within the Indian judicial system. This case exemplifies the potential for prolonged and ultimately unproductive litigation.
