STATE OF U.P. vs JOHRI MAL

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 24 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, regarding the appointment and renewal of District Government Counsel (DGC). The Court held that the State's decision not to renew the DGC's term, despite recommendations from the District Judge and District Magistrate, lacked sufficient justification. The Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's directive to renew the DGC's term, emphasizing the need for adherence to procedural fairness and the importance of judicial recommendations in such appointments.
