‘17 months… Manish Sisodia has been deprived of right to speedy trial’: Supreme Court’s strong words in bail order

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case, saying he has been deprived of the right to speedy trial. The Supreme Court allowed the petition after noting that the prolonged delay in trial has violated the right to speedy trial of Manish Sisodia and right to speedy trial is a facet of liberty. In its strong-worded order, the bench held that Manish Sisodia has been in custody for 17 months and trial has not yet commenced, depriving him of the right to speedy trial. Recently in Javed Gulam Nabi Shaikh case we dealt with this angle and we noted that when court, state or agency cannot protect the right to speedy trial, then bail cannot be opposed saying that crime is serious.
