Supreme Court Affirms Victims' Right to Speedy Trial, Overturns Stay Order
The Supreme Court overturned an Allahabad High Court order that had stayed a murder trial, affirming that the right to a speedy trial applies to both victims and the accused. The court clarified that Section 12 of the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities Act prioritizes Gangsters Act proceedings only when trial dates clash, not suspending other cases. Following the ruling, the murder trial concluded with convictions under the Indian Penal Code, emphasizing timely justice for all parties.
