The Allahabad HC on Wednesday directed the government counsel to seek instructions from it on a PIL seeking direction to take appropriate steps for quick disposal of cases related to crime against women pending in the various courts of UP.
The order was passed by a division bench here of Justices Uma Nath Singh and Virendra Kumar Dixit on a PIL filed by Naitik Party through its counsel Chandra Bhushan Pandey.
The petitioner also sought direction to take immediate steps to provide safety and dignity to women in the light of the representation submitted by it with the government. On behalf of the petitioner, the counsel Pandey argued that in the state large number of criminal cases relating to women, including that of rape, were pending in the courts and speedy disposal was not taking place.
Referring to Delhi gang-rape case, Pandey contended that there should be speedy disposal of such cases.
