Remedy from recommendation/sifarish in criminal case

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

You have to wait for the judgment being delivered in your case. Generally speaking, if the evidence has gone in your favour in a criminal case (as you have mentioned), then the verdict would take that evidence into account. The judgment is required to be a reasoned order and not an arbitrary one.

Even if the existing judge is transferred, the new judge is empowered to decide the case on the basis of the evidence recorded by the previous judge and pass the judgment. If the judgment goes against you and you find that it is not the correct order or that evidence in your favour has been ignored or wrongly interpreted, you always have the option of challenging such order by filing appeal before the higher courts.
