Delhi High Court Highlights: Delays, Convictions, and RTI Act Concerns

The Delhi High Court addressed three major issues: a 13-year delay in a murder convict's case impacting the justice system's credibility; actor Rajpal Yadav's deadline to surrender for cheque bounce convictions wasn't extended; and criticism of MCD for not publicising legislative information even 20 years post the RTI Act enactment.

The credibility of the criminal justice system is under scrutiny as the Delhi High Court raised concerns over a 13-year delay in apprehending a convict in a murder case. The case underlines significant inefficiencies even after an appeal dismissal.

Actor Rajpal Yadav's legal troubles continue as the Delhi High Court firmly denied extending his deadline to surrender to authorities. Yadav faces time behind bars over cheque bounce cases, marking a contentious chapter in his career.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi received a stern admonition from the court for failing to adhere to the Right to Information (RTI) Act. Despite two decades since the act's introduction, MCD has not adequately shared legislative records and proceedings, drawing judicial ire.
