The Supreme Court on April 24 orally said day-to-day hearings in the Lakhimpur Kheri killings case in the Sessions Court may affect the pace of other pending cases before the trial judge.
Appearing before a Bench led by Justice Surya Kant, advocate Prashant Bhushan, representing the victims, said only three witnesses of over 200 witnesses in the case have testified so far. He said that cases in which influential people tend to go on indefinitely in his own experience. Mr. Bhushan urged the Supreme Court to direct that at least two witnesses should be examined every week in the trial court.
