Right of a Accused under Indian Criminal Justice System to get speedy justice?
Scenario:
1) In the FIR 5 persons were named, after investigation police filed ChargeSheet against only ONE person and rest all purt in column No2.
2) Prima-facia charges framed against the ONE accused only and prosecution was asked prove the case
3) Prosecution moved application u/s Cr.P.C 319 to proceed against other persons who were named in the FIR and court sumoned all remaining 4 persons
4) Those 4 persons moved to high-court and HC stayed proceeding against ONLY those 4 persons, and case admitted for regular hearing. The case is still pending in HC from last five years.
5) Now the trial court is not advancing the case againt the very first person against whom chages has already been framed (approx 7 years ago) and there is NO stay by the HC w.r.t to that accused.
Now this case what is the legal recourse available to the accused against whom the charges have already framed to get the trail moving so that he can get speedy justice.
Thank you
