Cases are pending for 10-15 years and chargesheets are not filed, Chief Justice of India NV Ramanna said, asking the agencies to explain why.
Agencies like the CBI and Enforcement Directorate were reprimanded today by the Supreme Court over delays in investigations against MPs and MLAs. Cases are pending for 10-15 years and chargesheets are not filed, Chief Justice of India NV Ramanna said, asking the agencies to explain why. The Enforcement Directorate is "only attaching properties" and nothing else is done, the Supreme Court noted in sharp remarks. "Don't keep cases hanging like this. File a chargesheet," Justice Ramana, heading a three judge bench, said, pointing out that speedy trials were needed to deliver justice to people. "We don't want to say anything against these agencies because we don't want to demoralise them. But all this (number of pending cases) speaks volumes," he added.More Related News
