Satender Kumar Antil vs Central Bureau Of Investigation on 11 July, 2022
9. As on date, merely 8 witnesses have been examined out of the total
list comprising of 53 witnesses in the last 5 years after framing of charges.
Thus, it can be easily deduced that as per the prevalent position, the trial
proceedings are likely to continue for long and the applicant will end up
languishing behind bars for all the while during the said period. The same,

guaranteed by Part III of the Constitution of India, more so, when the
applicant is yet to be proven guilty of the offences involved in the present
FIR. This Court finds able support from various pronouncements of this

Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation (2022) 10 SCC 51].
