Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the principle that trials in Sessions Courts should proceed from day-to-day to ensure expediency and prevent delays. The Court emphasized that it is the duty of the Advocate to attend the trial continuously once the brief is accepted, and any failure to do so constitutes a breach of professional duty. The petition for modification of the earlier order directing a day-to-day trial was dismissed, reinforcing the necessity for continuous proceedings in criminal trials.
