Delhi Court Defers Pronouncement Of Verdict After Stenographer Left Threatening Suicide

A Delhi Court recently deferred pronouncement of verdict in a road accident case after the regular stenographer left the court threatening that he will commit suicide.

JMFC Neha Garg of Karkardooma Courts recorded in its order that the judgment could not be dictated as the regular stenographer of the court left the court after threatening that he will commit suicide.

The Court then relisted the matter for pronouncement of verdict on May 09 at 2 PM.

“Judgment could not be dictated as the regular stenographer of the court has left the court after threatening the court that he will commit suicide,” the Court said.
