Prabhawati Devi, considering her extreme old age which would imperil her life if she were forced to be produce in Court. 3. In compliance with the Court's order, the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jaunpur nominated Smt. Sneha, Judicial Magistrate-II, Jaunpur to execute the Commission issued by this Court.
