Jammu, Jan. 24 : J&K State Judicial Academy today held one day training programme on remedial measures to cut short delays in Civil and Criminal cases, sprocedure in complaint cases with special emphasis on complaints under Nagiotable Instrument Act and framing of issues for Sub-Judges and Munsiffs of Jammu Province under the guidance and patronage of Chief Patron of J&K State Judicial Academy, Justice N. Paul Vasanthakumar, Chief Justice, High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Committee of Judges, State Judicial Academy Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar, Chairman and Justice Janak Raj Kotwal, Member of Academy. Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar, Judge, High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Chairman, State Judicial Academy inaugurated the training programme. The proceedings were conducted by Abdul Rashid Malik, Director, J&K State Judicial Academy. He welcomed Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar, Jaffer Hussain Beigh, District and Sessions Judge and participating Officers. He gave an overview of the programme and deliberated on the need for organizing such programmes. In his introductory remarks, Malik highlighted the role of trial judge as the pivot around whom entire proceedings in the court revolve. Trial judge is the captain of the ship in the court and has to assert himself to avoid delay, adjournments and injustice.
While interacting with Judicial Officers, who highlighted practical difficulties being faced by them, Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar having varied experience both as a lawyer and Judge of the High Court gave practical instances and suggested remedial measures to cut short delays in Civil and Criminal cases. He enlightened the participants regarding ways and means which trials judges can adopt to avoid unnecessary adjournments cautioning the judicial officers that adjournments cannot be granted at the drop of the hat. The court has a sacred duty to see that the trial is conducted as per law. If adjournments are granted without any sufficient cause, it would tantamount to violation of rule of law and eventually turns the trial into a farce. The trial courts are expected in law to follow the command of the procedure relating to trial and not to yield to the request of the counsel to grant adjournment for non-acceptable reasons as their job is to deliver justice on merit and not what the cousel for the parties are expecting.
2nd Session of the progamme was dealt by Jaffer Hussain Beigh, District and Sessions Judge on the topic, "Procedure in complaint cases with special emphasis on complaints under Negotiable Instrument Act. He cleared confusions and doubts which the participants had about the various legal provisions and procedures. All the participants took part in the deliberations with great interest. The latest judgments of Supreme Court with regard to jurisdiction as well as amendments in the Negotiable Instrument Act were also deliberated during the discussion. In the Post Lunch Session, D.C. Raina, Senior Advocate, High Court of Jammu and Kashmir deliberated upon the "Role and Responsibility of Trial Judges to overcome delays in civil and criminal cases. While emphasizing speedy disposal of cases, Raina very seriously informed trial judges that granting of unnecessary adjournments is a sin. While sharing his experience regarding court management, the learned senior advocate requested the judicial officers to firmly guide and educate the ministerial staff in the matter of issuance of summons and process in order to avoid delay at the initial stage. Self-confidence and time management is the greatest strength of the trial judges through which they can assert their position and intellectual strength in the court room.
