Shree Mahavir Oil Mills & Anr vs State Of Jammu & Kashmir & Ors on 29 November, 1996

"19. However, keeping in view the fact that the petitioner was 50 years of age at the time of recording of his statement under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C. and he would be, by now, fairly advanced in the age, as also the fact that he has faced the agony of criminal proceedings for the last more than 16-1/2 years, I am of the opinion that the sentence awarded to him deserves to be reduced to that of fine. For this view, I draw support from a judgment of the Supreme Court in Sri Krishan Gopal Sharma and another v. Government of N.C.T. of Delhi, 1996(2) RCR (Criminal 591: 1996(1)F.A.C. 258 (SC) and also from the judgments of Allahabad High Court in Bhageloo v. State of U.P. and another, 1996(2) F.A.C. 199 and of this Court in Mahavir v. State through Govt. Food Inspector, 2000 (4) RCR (Criminal) 208 (P&H)."

Manoj Kumar And Ors. vs State Of Haryana on 24 March, 2008

"6. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, further contends that the occurrence in this case pertains to the year 1984, to be precise, February 17, 1984 and a period of 16 years has already gone by. Petitioner has already suffered the agony of protracted trial, spanning over a period of one and half decades. Petitioner was 40 years of age at the time of occurrence and further that he was already undergone sentence for a period of 25 days. For the contention that petitioner should be dealt with leniently in these circumstances his counsel relies upon Manoj Kumar v. State of Haryana, 1998(1) RCR 563. Learned State counsel has, of course, been able to defend this case on merits but practically has nothing to say insofar as reduction of sentence imposed upon the petitioner is concerned.

State Of Bihar vs Ramdaras Ahir And Ors. on 6 August, 1984

'Now obviously procedure prescribed by law for depriving a person of his liberty cannot be 'reasonable, fair and just' unless that procedure ensures a speedy trial for determination of the guilt of such person. No procedure which does not ensure a reasonably quick trial can be regarded as 'reasonable, fair or just' and it would fall foul of Article 21. There can, therefore, be no doubt that speedy trial and by speedy trial, is an integral and essential part of the fundamental right to life and liberty enshrined in Article 21.' The same question was considered by a Bench of the Patna High Court in State of Bihar v. Ramdaras Ahir and others, 1985 Crl. L.J. 584. It was concluded that the word 'trial' would bring within its Criminal Revision No.103 of 2001 [7] sweep, the appeal that would be pending against such an order. In paragraph 17 the Court had held:
