JUSTICE FARJAND ALI (THROUGH VIDEO CONFERENCING) Order 16/10/2025 1. Learned counsel for the petitioner does not want to press the instant bail application. 2. Right to seek for and get speedy trial is a keen to fundamental right as enunciated by Hon’ble the Supreme Court in the case of Vakil Prasad Singh Vs. State of Bihar, AIR 2009. 3. Here in this case, the petitioner was arrested in the year 2021 and now around four years have elapsed but the trial has not been culminated till now and there seems no hope of its culmination in near future since the report shown by learned trial court making revelation that till now out of 29 witnesses only 12 could have been examined. The pace of trial is persuading this Court that if it is continued to run in the same fashion, the object of speedy trial cannot be achieved.

The opportunity to the prosecution to lead evidence against the accused so as to unable them to substantiate the charge can be given for a reasonable period, but in any state of imagination the reasonability cannot longavate for more than four years, specifically when there is no hurdle or legal impediment like operation of stay or abscondence of the accused. Prosecution is duty bound to produce its witnesses so that there deposition can be recorded. 5. In this view of the matter, learned trial court is directed to issue compelling process to the remaining witnesses and the same shall strictly be forwarded to Superintendent of Police concerned with the specific note that responsible police officer be deployed for effactutation of service upon witnesses.
