Right to speedy trial irrespective of nature of offence: Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has presented conflicting views on bail, asserting that while delay in trial and long incarceration aren't sole grounds for relief, the fundamental right to a speedy trial, irrespective of offense nature, can justify bail. This was highlighted when granting bail to a former chairperson after 16 months, contrasting with a recent rejection for activists.
