Supreme Court considers the suo moto case "IN RE: TO ISSUE CERTAIN GUIDELINES REGARDING INADEQUACIES AND DEFICIENCIES IN CRIMINAL TRIALS".
Sr Advs Siddharth Luthra and R Basant have submitted a draft rules on criminal practice.
https://t.co/wgbip9xefB
CJI : That is a separate issue. We have a case from Delhi today.
Luthra : That is item 20. I am appearing in that too.
CJI : No, you don't appear in that. We want you to be amicus in that case.
'The deficiencies in trials were found attributable to criminal rules of practice in force. So it was felt necessary to prepare draft rules which can be incorporated in existing rules'.
Notices were issued to Registrar Generals of High Courts, Chief Secretaries/Administrators of States/UTs and Advocate Generals for general consensus on draft rules.
A committee comprising Senior Advs R Basant, Siddharth Luthra and K Parameshwar was constituted to go into the issues after considering the existing rules of all the High Courts. The Committee submitted a report on draft rules.
This court has got responses only of High Courts of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Delhi and Allahabad to the draft criminal rules.
In such circumstances, we consider it necessary to call upon the High Courts to submit their reports within 2 weeks. In case HCs cannot do so, the Registrar General of the HC shall remain present in this court on the next hearing date
On failure to do so, the Registrar Generals of HCs must appear on next hearing date with necessary instructions.
Luthra : That was in the early stage. We are seeking response to the report submitted in March 2020.
CJI says that the copy of the report is available in the official website of the Supreme Court and may be accessed from there.
He submits this is response of CJI's suggestion to make him amicus in that case.

In his letters describing the India Mission, Carey has given us an insight into how the society functioned then, of how the minds of the people worked and what methods the missionaries used to approach and brainwash the common people.
It is entirely possible that,Carey in his arrogance of being the white man and hence more civilized,his inability to under the Hindu scriptures and his natural disdain for the learned community coupled with his inherent hatred for the idolaters may have exaggerated the incidents.
In fact, considering the venom with which he has spoken about Hinduism and it's practices, it's likely that he has exaggerated these incidents. But it cannot be denied that these incidents did happen even if they may not have been on scale at which Carey has described.
One of his journal entry mentions a debate which happened in a temple in front of around 200 people. Carey describes having debated with two learned men and goes on to say when both learned men failed to answer his questions, he went on to preach the gospel to the assembled crowd
In a letter dated 30th June,1795 he goes on to gleefully narate how Hindus were unaware of their own scriptures and how an supposed expert named a grammar book when he was questioned as which scripture said that the Murti is God.
