The Hon'ble Chief justice of India, Union law minister Dr. M.Virappa Moili and others are very much serious regarding the pendency/backlog of cases in judicial courts and on the other hand a large number of criminal cases of Electricity Act, 2003 is pending in magestarial courts in Jharkhand, although compensation money has been deposited by the so called accused persons but the criminal cases are still pending in the judicial courts. The legislature very specifically provides provision under section 152 of the Electricity Act if someone deposited the compensation money, the prosecution/proceeding immediately closed but in Jharkhand no one is ready to see this plight/misery of innocent persons. The matter has been raised in some judicial courts within the District of Giridih but no result with a positive approach. In this connection correspondence has been made with the energy department of the state, local superitending Engineer of Electricity has been requested to furnish a figure of criminal cases instituted by electricity board/number of persons facing trials after depositing compensation money and number of cases withdrawn by the Electricity Board but no positive result is shown yet. I request views, suggestions, ideas and comments by the READERS how electricity act, 2003 will be implemented and Judicial courts relieved from this unnecessary burden.
