The Assam government decided to withdraw around three lakh petty crime cases to reduce the load on the judiciary.

Addressing a press conference on Sunday after a Cabinet meeting in Guwahati, Tourism Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah said lakhs of petty cases are pending across the state.

The Minister said "we have decided to withdraw around three lakh of the 4.19 lakh petty crime cases, invoking Section 321 of the CrPC. This will reduce the backlog of cases and decongest jails”.

A statement said “the government will soon issue instructions and detailed standard operating procedures to the public prosecutor for filing appropriate petitions on the next dates of the respective cases”.
