SC ‘shocked’ over Maha court not framing charges against man for 4 years; seeks report from police, trial court
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has expressed “shock” over the continued incarceration of an accused in Maharashtra for more than four years without charges being framed, despite a charge sheet having been filed in early 2022.
A Bench of Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Prashant Kumar Mishra said it was “really shocking” that the petitioner remains behind bars while the trial has not even reached the stage of framing charges.
“Even after four years of the petitioner being behind bars, charges have not yet been framed despite the charge sheet having been submitted on 13.01.2022. This is really shocking,” the Justice Amanullah-led Bench observed.
