#Juvenile Justice Board

Allahabad HC directs Juvenile Justice Boards to conclude pending juvenile trials within one year under BNSS Section 529, prioritizing expeditious justice for children in conflict with law. The ruling addresses systemic delays in juvenile cases, emphasizing compliance with statutory timelines to protect child rights.

Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that summoning witnesses under Section 311 CrPC after 10 years of litigation prejudices the accused and constitutes judicial abuse. The decision underscores that prosecutorial delay in examining key witnesses cannot override fair trial rights, even for investigating agencies like the CBI.
