- Unsolicited advice to Supreme Court lands trial judge in trouble

Trending

NEW DELHI: It sounds inconceivable that a trial judge will advise the top court of the country on how to decide a case. But it happened recently, and the judge is now in trouble, with the Supreme Court seeking an explanation from him for advising it on when to grant bail.The case pertains to the bail petition of an accused from West Bengal who has been an undertrial prisoner for the last five years, and the apex court, while rejecting his plea, had asked the trial court to complete the proceedings within three months. The order, which was passed on May 11, directed the trial court to file a report after disposal of the case.As the trial court could not honour the SC order, the judge wrote to the apex court seeking more time to conclude the trial. But the judge, the additional district and sessions judge, 3rd court, North 24 Parganas at Barasat, also gave some unsolicited advice to the apex court on bail jurisprudence - when to grant bail and when not.After reading the letter, which was placed before a bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K Vinod Chandran, the court expressed shock over its contents, which were uncalled for and directed its registry to ask the judge why he wrote what he wrote.
