'legal awareness camps doing honest work in Palamu'

PNS

The 32nd principal district and sessions judge of Palamau judgeship —

VK Sahay — has been transferred from here to lohardaga judgeship. Palamau judgeship was established in 1960 and Sahay has adorned the chair of district judge as its 32nd incumbent. However, he was posted as a principal district and sessions judge here in 2013. The Pioneer held a talk with him.

Your transfer will make your successor, in Daltonganj, go through the cases afresh that you have been hearing  which will mean make the disposal od those cases slower

Successors everywhere work hard and mug things faster so to say there will set in slowness is not proper.

You were treated here as one bold judicial officer who believed in not denying bails in cases where it was due and in cases tough and difficult where others would have preferred to deny it.

No comments.

How are legal awareness camps doing here in PalamuIJ

Their work is robust and honest. Judicial officials are taking all pains for this camp here.

How has been your relation here with the BarIJ

It was wonderful. I got cooperation from the Bar to the fullest extent.

Justice on Wheels was here for the whole month of February 2014 but it did not reach Harihurganj block which is on NH-98. WhyIJ

You know the day it was supposed to reach Harihurganj,  the CPI Maoists declared a bandh thus halting the city and  the transfer was delayed unintentionally.
