The accused, Munna Dhali and Nabu Dhali, have been incarcerated for over 12 years, awaiting completion of trial in a 2012 murder case.
The Calcutta High Court granted bail to a murder accused, citing Article 21 of the Constitution due to an inordinate delay in the trial, as reported on June 23, 2024. The accused, who has been in custody since 2018, saw his trial delayed due to the non-appearance of witnesses and the prosecution's failure to expedite the process. Justice Rai Chattopadhyay emphasized that the right to a speedy trial is a fundamental right under Article 21, and the prolonged detention without progress in the trial infringed upon this right. The court directed the accused's release on bail with conditions, highlighting the need for judicial efficiency and the protection of constitutional rights.
