Delhi High Court Acquits Retired Major General Over Hasty Trial and Sanction Flaws
The Delhi High Court acquitted retired Major General Anand Kumar Kapur in a disproportionate assets case, citing a hurried trial that denied him a fair opportunity to present his defence. The court found the trial court prematurely closed defence evidence amid procedural pressures and identified flaws in the prosecution sanction process, noting incomplete investigative records were presented to the sanctioning authority. The CBI maintained the trial complied with Supreme Court timelines, but the High Court emphasized the need to balance speedy and fair trials.
