Ensure government cases do not weaken due to system lapses: Priyank Kharge

Home Minister Priyank Kharge has directed prosecution officers and government advocates to ensure effective representation of the government’s interests in courts and prevent cases from being weakened due to procedural lapses or lack of coordination.

Reviewing the functioning of the Department of Prosecution and Government Litigation, Mr. Kharge said coordination between departments concerned, investigating officers and government advocates must begin from the initial stage of a case rather than being limited to court arguments.

He stressed that government cases should not suffer due to gaps in the system, inadequate information or poor coordination between departments. Officials must ensure that government advocates receive the complete case background, relevant documents, facts and legal information within the stipulated time.
