Introduction

Courts in India are making two important decisions. One is about slow trials. The other is about a security case.

Main Body

A man had a court case for 35 years in Uttar Pradesh. The Supreme Court said this is too long. This is not fair. Now, the court wants a list of all empty judge jobs and people in jail. In Punjab, a man named Surmukh Singh wanted to leave jail. He is accused of a bomb attack in 2021. The police say he worked with people in Pakistan using drones. The judge said no to Surmukh Singh. The judge saw phone data from other countries. The crime is very serious, so he must stay in jail.

Conclusion

The courts are trying to fix slow systems and stop terrorism.
