Today(on 3rd July), The Supreme Court of India chastised the NIA for delaying the trial in a counterfeit currency case, leading to the accused being held in jail for four years without trial, emphasizing the constitutional right to a speedy trial regardless of the offense’s severity.
Today, 19th April, The Supreme Court ruled that special courts led by sessions judges have the authority to try offenses under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), contradicting the Bombay High Court’s interpretation. This broadens the scope of courts eligible to handle IBC cases. The ruling resulted from a Division Bench decision, sending the case back to the High Court for a new verdict.
