Kaithal (Haryana):
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.
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.
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.
"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.
"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."
However, Judge Shori refused to talk to media about the
accomplishment.
