SC issues notice on delay in pronouncement of judgments by Jharkhand HC

New Delhi, Apr 23 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Wednesday took serious note of inordinate delays by the Jharkhand High Court in pronouncing judgments on criminal appeals filed by four convicts, despite the cases being reserved for judgment over two to three years ago.
A bench, comprising Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh, issued notice to the Registrar General of the Jharkhand High Court, directing the submission of a status report in a sealed cover on the long-pending judgments.
The apex court also issued notice on applications filed by the convicts seeking suspension of their sentences, since the prolonged delay has rendered them ineligible for remission.
