Article 21 | Eight-Year Undertrial Detention Without Accused Fault Violates Speedy Trial Right : Rajasthan HC Grants Bail Under BNSS
Rajasthan High Court rules that prolonged undertrial detention (eight years) without delay attributable to the accused infringes the constitutional right to a speedy trial under Article 21. The Court granted bail under Section 483 BNSS, emphasizing that judicial delay alone cannot justify continued incarceration where material witnesses' statements are already recorded.
