Supreme Court of India2026 INSC 473Bench: Justice B.R. Gavai, Justice Satish Chandra Sharma
Right to speedy trial is fundamental right under Article 21. Keeping public servant in suspended animation for 35 years without fault runs contrary to spirit of procedure established by law. If continuation of proceedings violates Article 21, High Court should exercise inherent powers.
