Narendra-Modi-specchecPatna:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday expressed concern over the large number of cases pending in courts for years, saying there is a need to tackle them with speed.

“It is a matter of concern that large number of cases have been pending in courts across the country,” Modi said during his address at a function held here at the end of the year-long Patna High Court centenary celebrations.

The prime minister also suggested that the courts should come out with an annual bulletin, mentioning the number of pending cases in them and since when. “It will help the courts, judges and lawyers to fix a target to tackle pending cases in time bound manner.”

Modi said the completion of a century of the Patna High Court marks the beginning of a new challenge and responsibility for the next centenary programme.

Supreme Court Chief Justice T.S. Thakur, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and union ministers were also present on the occasion.

After Patna, Modi will dedicate to the nation the rail portion of the Digha-Sonepur rail-cum-road bridge at Hajipur at a function later.

It is the first visit of Modi to Bihar after the state’s assembly polls in October-November in which his party Bharatiya Janata Party and allies were routed by the Grand Alliance of Janata Dal-United, Rashtriya Janata Dal and Congress.

The prime minister, during the day-long event, will also open two newly erected rail-cum-road bridges in Patna and Munger, besides laying the foundation for an additional rail bridge across the Ganga at Mokama town in Patna, officials said.

President Pranab Mukherjee had opened the centenary celebrations last April.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
