A judge in this Haryana town created a record of sorts when he settled 148 cases in a single day, close on the heels of a peer in Andhra Pradesh hogging the headlines for deciding 111 cases in one day.<\/p>\n
This time it was Additional District and Sessions Judge A.K. Shori’s turn, who is known for speedy trials. He set the benchmark Wednesday in a development that comes in the backdrop of a huge backlog of cases and slow trials in Indian courts.<\/p>\n
Around 137 of the cases settled by him pertained to land-related issues. The other cases were related to motor accident claims, Hindu Marriage Act, criminal revisions and civil appeals.<\/p>\n
‘Judge Shori is known for speedy trials and quick decisions. During the last month, he had given verdicts on around 225 cases and decided 87 cases on a single day Aug 1. This approach is very necessary to solve the problem of an increasing backlog in our courts,’ said a senior official of Kaithal district bar association here Thursday.<\/p>\n
‘Shori has surpassed the record of J.V.V. Satyanarayana Murthy, a civil judge of Guntur (in Andhra Pradesh), who had decided 111 cases on the same day a few days back. This would also motivate other judges of the country to give early decisions.’<\/p>\n
