💨 Abstract

The Jharkhand High Court delivered judgments in two murder cases, acquitting the accused, following the Supreme Court's intervention over the HC's delay in pronouncing judgments. The two cases involved five individuals who had spent over a decade in jail. The High Court reservations were made in 2022, but decisions were pending until the Supreme Court's directive. Advocate Fauzia Shakil argued that the delay had kept her clients in prison unnecessarily, missing out on potential remission.
