Judge B. Pugalendhi stated that the court noticed that the investigating officers would spend most of the time by pre -judgment of court appearances in the applications submitted to the accused.
The Madurai bench in the Madras High Court ordered the Minister of the Interior to ensure that the video conferencing facility was provided to lawyers, at least in the Supreme Courts and the District Courts, so that the investigating officers do not have to wait for the whole day to provide details of the case.
Judge B. Pugalendhi stated that the court noticed that the investigating officers would spend most of the time by pre -judgment of court appearances in the applications submitted to the accused. Prosecutors should refrain from calling investigating officers for every hearing. They could collect written instructions at the problem and verify them through video conferencing, the judge said.
The court ordered that a circular restricting scenarios be issued by lawyers to summon the investigating officers of the court.
The court has heard petitions on cases of cheating on udhayam chits and his sister fears and PG marketing and Agro Tech Company and her sister fears.
Companies were reportedly collected by deposits from a large number of people to finance their operations. They offered to return the betrayal amount with great interest, but eventually cheated on their customers. Therefore, cases were registered against them.
The wing of economic offenses, dindigul, investigated the case concerning udhayam chits and the wing of economic offenses Madurai probed the case concerning PG marketing and agro technology. The indictment was filed and a trial was underway.
The court stated that the agency had no sufficient workforce for the volume of the work involved and it seemed that the agency had not been provided. This also faced difficulties in collecting records. The government is expected to deal with the difficulties of the agency, the court added.
At the same time, the investigative official should understand that there is no need to refer to all depositors as witnesses and explore them as witnesses during the proceedings. Criminal prosecution could rely on several witnesses, and if those who become hostile, the necessary requests to submit other witnesses may be submitted, the court said.
He ordered the agency to close the investigation as quickly as possible and ensure that the court proceedings had reached its logical conclusion.
