#pocsojudge
Senior Advocate Vikas Singh appearing for the judge submitted that he was punished to decide a matter within a day when there is so much of pendency of matters
Court: See You are punishing a person who convicted a person within a day and in another matter it was decided within 4 days.

Singh: Milords this is being done when there is a lot pendency of matters.
Court: That doesn't mean that such type of process is commendable. If it is so then we should decide every matter within a day.
Court: This disciplinary proceedings....

Singh: There is no disciplinary proceedings, he had applied for a promotion. Kindly have a look at the rules, the committee of the High Court can suspend when the chargesheet is filed within 3 months of the suspension.
Singh: No notice has been sent to me. I received a call that please send these judgments, I send these judgments and then I'm suspended.

Court : If matters are decided in such a way, we want to understand what is the approach that is taken by the Judge.
Court: What are the reasons for awarding capital punishment within 4 days?
Mr Singh you are a part of the system. There is a system of rewards for the prosecutors, there is a system.
Singh: Many people say "Kasab should have also been punished within a day, there were several aspects to it that were to be seen, here all the aspects were already before him.
Court: Then what about Allah Uddin Miya and there are many other cases where we would have given the punishment within a day. It is not how it is done. You are a leader of the bar, you should not raise your pitch at such a level.
Court: Many judgments are there where punishment has been given in the same day. However, there are dozens of judgments that have been commuted.
There is no need to say that the girl was a Dalit girl.
Emotions are to be kept out, if you want to argue the matter argue on merits.
Singh: No Milords,

Court: You did say that he has a 7 years old daughter and it happened to a dalit girl. We have to see what is the remedy there.
Court: Issue notice, returnable in two weeks.
The respondents should submit the steps taken in furtherance to the suspension.
The interim relief in terms of prayer B shall be entitled.
