Section 25A of our Criminal Procedure Code clearly mandates that all Public Prosecutors, Additional Public Prosecutors and Special Public Prosecutors in the High Court are subordinate to the Director of Prosection.
But in a very blatant illegality, strangely all the Public Prosecutors at the Bombay High Court at Goa are reporting to the Advocate General who also assigns them the cases. This is absolutely impermissible in law.
Let us hope that the new Advocate General Devidas Pangam who is known to be very upright will set the record straight and stop the law from continuing to be violated.
