4 I have been repeatedly noticing that firstly, such applications received through jail are not placed before the Court by the Registry promptly. This application is dated 18.02.2013 and the Registry has taken its own time to scrutinize and verify this application. It has been posted before the Court on 06/07.03.2013. Why such bail applications which are received in the Department as early as on 21.02.2013 are not placed promptly and expeditiously, needs to be investigated and looked into by the Registrar (Judicial). He must ensure that when such applications are received, the copies thereof are dispatched to the Public Prosecutor’s office so as to enable him to depute some of his colleagues to attend the matter. Equally, there would be enough time for the learned Prosecutor to take instructions from the Investigating Machinery. However, what I find is that when such matters are listed before the Court, thereafter, the copies are supplied to the Public Prosecutor’s office and it is only thereafter, the Public Prosecutor seeks instructions from the Investigating Machinery and thereafter, the Investigating Machinery takes its own time. That would result in delay. These are not happy state of affairs and in past, on my oral directions a mechanism was evolved that when such applications are lodged with the Registry, they are forwarded to the Public Prosecutor’s office within 48 hours.
