Chance for tipplers to get rid of cases
The state government has initiated a marathon hearing of prohibition cases to dispose them at the earliest.
The state government has initiated a marathon hearing of prohibition cases to dispose them at the earliest.
As many as 1.20 lakh prohibition cases are pending in Vadodara district court, while over 100 are added every month. Some cases have been pending for decades. Cases related to alcohol consumption will be taken up during the drive that will give an opportunity to the accused to plead guilty in the court.
Thereafter, the court will decide on the fine, depending on the amount of liquor consumed. The court will also include cases where seizures below 10 litres have been made, say sources. A notification in this regard has been issued to the various district courts, say sources.
Vadodara will conduct these court sessions on August 6, 12, 13 and 20 where over 20,000 cases are expected to be disposed of.
Senior lawyer Shailesh Patel says, "Several other serious cases get hampered due to backlog of petty cases like prohibition, which keep lingering in the courts for years. With this initiative, the burden on the court will reduce drastically."
"There are several procedural delays even in prohibition cases. The present move will help in disposing of the cases fast," says senior lawyer Jagdish Ramani.
"This will be the first of its kind Lok Adalat, as it was formed only for cases where compromise is possible. But here, it can expect accused pleading guilty, accept the minor punishment and get over with the case that has been bothering him for a long time," says Ramani.
