The untimely death of additional district and sessions judge Uttam Anand who was fatally knocked down by a vehicle on July 28, 2021, in Jharkhand’s Dhanbad has caught the attention of the apex court.
The Supreme Court will today continue hearing in the suo motu PIL filed over the mounting concerns about the dangers faced by the subordinate judiciary, especially trial judges, in the line of duty.
The Supreme Court on Friday said, "A new trend in this country. If an adverse order is passed then judiciary is maligned. If judges file a complaint to police or CBI they do not respond."
