Justice still prevails in Allahabad High Court, kudos to Court

Justice still 

It was on last Friday, a rare and a great opportunity came to me, when I was able to witness the largest bench of Allahabad High Court. The seven Judges bench, headed by the Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and comprising of other six judges like, Justice Rakesh Tiwari, Justice V.K. Shukla, Justice Tarun Agarwal, Justice Arun Tandon, Justice Dilip Gupta and Justice A. P. Sahi, was constituted for hearing some important and vital cases, related to various causes.

While during the proceeding of the larger bench, the entire court (including judges) was surcharged with emotion, when a emotionally shattered woman stood before the bench to narrate her owes, related with the arrest of her husband and Sub Inspector (SI), Mr. Sailendra Singh, who was being arrested due to the firing from his service revolver, in the Civil Court of Allahabad, which may have happened due to scuffle with a advocate, Mr. Nabi Ahmed, who died on spot, due to firing, on last March.

The wife of the SI, Mrs. Sapna Singh, with her emotionally choked voice, told the court that she have approached the Session Court, thrice, for the bail application of her husband, who is languishing in the jail, since from the month of March, but every time, many unruly and hooligan advocates not only manhandled her, before entering the court, but also hurled abusive languages to her, they even snatched the bail application and tore it, before her.

When the court asked whether she had any advocate for assisting her, in the civil Court, she told that not a single advocate of Allahabad were being allowed to handle her case and she also appraised the court that she is fighting alone for pursuing this case, but due to unwanted physical hindrance, created by the advocates of the Civil Court, she could not even file a single bail application, so far.

After hearing the woes of the sad lady, the court have expressed their ire and scolded the Advocate General for declining of the law and order of the state, the court also rebuke some couple of lawyers, who were opposing the application of Mrs. Singh.

The court immediately came in conclusion on the application (not a petition) of Mrs. Singh, who herself have pleaded before the seven bench court, without hiring any counselor for her support. The court has made a unanimous order to the District Court of Allahabad to hand over the entire file of the case to the District Court of Raibarely, within 48 hours of this order.

I was really overwhelmed to observe the softly spoken style of pleading of the brave heart lady, before the larger bench and also feel delighted to see that the hon’ble court decided a case, on a simple application of Mrs. Singh and kudos to Allahabad High Court, Who keeps big heart and mind, while delivering the verdict.
