The high court on Monday asked Bengal director-general of police Virendra to appear on December 13 and clarify why his department had failed to use the e-court facility to speed up the trials of undertrials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Justice Joymalya Bagchi issued the order during the hearing of a petition moved by senior advocate Sekhar Bose who alleged that his client, an accused in a murder case at Jangipur, had been languishing in prison for over a year because of police inefficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bose had moved the case at the end of November and claimed that the Mushidabad police had repeatedly failed to produce his client in a Jangipur court for commitment of the trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the commitment, the accused are informed by the court about the charges and the court asks him about his views on the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following Bose\u2019s plea, the high court had ordered Virendra to file an affidavit clarifying why his department was not taking advantage of the e-court system to hold the commitment through video-conferencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The HC had also sought an affidavit from the registrar-general of the high court regarding the progress of introduction of e-courts in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the case came up for hearing again on Monday, the registrar-general filed his affidavit saying the e-court system had been introduced across the state, but no affidavit was filed on behalf of Virendra. So, the court asked Virendra to appear on Friday.<\/p>\n
