The Allahabad High Court recently said that trial court judges often convict the accused in cases of heinous offences despite a clear case of acquittal due to their fear of higher courts. "…they are fearful of wrath of the higher courts in such cases, and only to save their personal reputation and carrier prospects, such judgment and order of conviction are passed," the bench of Justice Siddharth and Justice Syed Qamar Hasan Rizvi stated. The division bench also stated that the Government did not accept the recommendations made by the Law Commission in its 277th Report [on 'Wrongful Prosecution (Miscarriage of Justice): Legal Remedies'] since there are many cases where the accused booked under heinous crimes do not get acquitted despite clear cases of acquittal. The court observed while acquitting a murder accused and also expressed its disappointment about the fact that a false accusation and its ensuing trauma are beyond any court's ability to compensate financially.
