Bareilly: It's taken 29 years of snail-paced trial for a court in Bareilly to sentence two men to five years in prison for stealing Rs 370 from a man they drugged in train sometime in 1988. They now say the real punishment for them was the trial and not the jail term they have been given now. The court of additional district and sessions judge Sarla Dutta in Bareilly has in its order on Tuesday also fined the accused Rs 10,000 each. The apex court has also written to chief justices to speed up filling up of vacancies in HCs to bring down pendency. It had emphasised on disposing of all cases older than five years on priority.
