Delhi HC Flags Prosecutor Shortage; SC Seeks Centre's Response on Transgender Law PIL
The Delhi High Court highlighted a persistent shortage of public prosecutors, which is delaying criminal trials and bail hearings. It stayed the recovery of Rs 5,000 in costs from Delhi's Director of Prosecution Maqsood Ahmed's salary, imposed by a trial court after prosecutors failed to appear. The court expressed concern over the Delhi government's lack of action to address this issue. Separately, the Supreme Court sought the Centre's response to a PIL by a women's group questioning the impact of transgender rights legislation on protections for biological women.
