Jammu and Kashmir High Court

The Rajasthan High Court has set aside a trial court's charge of attempted murder against petitioners due to insufficient evidence, labeling the trial court's actions as 'judicial indiscipline' for disregarding a prior order. The court noted that the injuries reported were not life-threatening and emphasized the need for a reasoned decision when framing charges. Meanwhile, in Jammu and Kashmir, IAS officer Shyambir Singh faces criminal contempt proceedings for allegedly harassing a judge, with the High Court demanding his appearance. In another case, the Punjab and Haryana High Court quashed an FIR against a police officer accused of conducting a faulty investigation, criticizing the trial court for procedural violations. These cases reflect ongoing issues regarding judicial accountability and the integrity of legal processes in India.
