New Delhi: Observing that right to speedy trial is also a "valuable right" of a victim, the Supreme Court on Monday set aside an order of the Allahabad High Court which had kept in abeyance the trial in a murder case.
In its order passed in August last year, the high court had also directed the special judge to expedite the proceedings in a case lodged under the provision of the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986 to satisfy the intent of the mandatory provisions contained in Section 12.
