Special judge for POCSO act suspended;he took bail decision in hurry

The judge, who admitted the bail to the former minister under SP Government in UP, Gayatri Prajapati, has been suspended by high court. Special judge for POSCO act, Mr Omprakash Mishra who had heard the bail plea and gave bail to Gayatri Prajapti; but the high court has rejected the decision of bail granted.

DK Singh, registrar general high court Allahabad has confirmed the suspension. The departmental inquiry has also been set up against Mishra. The inquiry will be conducted by Sudhir Agrawal J. High Court. The inquiry will be completed till 30th april. Om Prakash Mishra is going to be retired on 30 April.

Dilip Baba Sahib Bhosle, Chief Justice, hearing on the government appeal against the bail granted to Gayatri, had given a stiff noting. Chief Justice said that the FIR after the Supreme Court intervention was registered in Gyatri’s matter, then he was arrested.

During the investigation in grave matter, the accused releasing order is the decision in hurriedly taken. Police and the government advocate could not get chance to put their side.

Mishra was suspended on seeing the hurry to grant the bail, and the decision of high court in the case.

The government lawyer begged the time for 3 days to submit diary and records which was in bulk, but the court set aside the plea, and granted the bail. The judge did nothing over the prosecution application; and, hearing on Gayatri’s application, granted bail.

Justice Bhosle said the judge, setting aside the nature of charges, granted the bail in hurry. He even forgot the FIR was lodged after the Apex Court order. The judge who is going to retire on 30 th April this month had which type of reason behind this is a subject of concern for me.
