Sangita Bala Jadhav vs The State Of Maharashtra on 8 November, 2011
33. As a matter of fact, a Bench of this Court - to which one
of us was a party (A.M. Khanwilkar, J.) - in the case of Shashikant
A. Alavane v. State of Maharashtra & Ors., 2001 Cri. L.J. 1503,
particularly paragraphs 20 to 22 thereof, almost a decade back, had
occasion to make observation in this regard, considering the fact that
the Courts do not look with equanimity upon delays when the liberty of
a person is concerned. Indubitably, representations of the detenu are
required to be decided with utmost expedition as it cannot brook delay.
