Avoid Adjournments, Submit Timely Status Reports in Bail Cases: HC to Lawyers

The Delhi High Court has issued a circular stipulating that in cases concerning bail, interim bail, furlough, parole and suspension of sentence, lawyers must avoid unnecessary adjournments or pass-overs.

A circular dated July 25 states that for these matters, status reports must also be filed within the specified time.

Furthermore, it is required that all bail applications submitted to the High Court must include status reports filed by investigation agencies before the trial courts.

“Additionally, counsels are requested to provide all necessary assistance in promptly obtaining nominal rolls from prison authorities and to swiftly comply with court orders to ensure the smooth operation of judicial proceedings,” the Court said.

According to the circular, this decision has been made to ensure the swift disposal of such matters and “would aid in the efficient functioning of the judicial system.”

“The cooperation of the Bar in adhering to these resolutions would be greatly appreciated,” the circular concluded.
