JUDICIAL PRONOUNCEMENTS ON SPEEDY TRIAL IN INDIA: AN ANALAYSIS
Downloads
Abstract
The Indian judiciary plays a significant role in protecting the rights of the people and it has tried to give certain rights like right to speedy trial, right to fair trial etc. a constitutional status by including all these rights within the purview of Article 21 of our Constitution. The judiciary in India has played a dynamic role in the dispensation of justice by providing fair and just trial to all its citizens. There are catena of pronouncements of the Supreme Court and High Courts on the subject of trial wherein the Courts have questioned the delays and discharged the accused.
The pre-emergency Supreme Court has not developed any extensive jurisprudence in the field of basic human rights. But the post–Emergency Supreme Court turned active and militant in this field. It has evolved a new regime of Fundamental Rights which are not expressly present in the Indian Constitution, e.g., right to speedy trial emerged as independent fundamental right.
