Right to Speedy Trail

 

The right to speedy trail is an integral feature of Article 21. Though no time limit can be fixed since it is a relative concept varying from case to case but the trail is vitiated if speedy trail is not granted. In the instant case not a single witness had been examined by the prosecution for 26 years, hence the court quashed the proceedings against the accused. [Moti Lal Saraf v. State of J&K and Anr. Cr. App. No. 774 of 2002, decided on September 29, 2006]
