RAGHUBIR SINGH & OTHERS ETC. vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court ruled that petitions against the framing of charges by the Trial Court are not maintainable under Articles 32 and 136 of the Constitution, as the Court cannot act as a trial court to assess evidence sufficiency. It emphasized that the right to a speedy trial under Article 21 is a matter of fairness in criminal justice administration. The Court also clarified that the creation of Special Judge’s Courts under the Criminal Law Amendment Act is justified for security and convenience, and that conspiracy under Sections 120A and 124A IPC can be established without continuous participation in the offense. The Court upheld the orders related to bail under Sections 167(2) and 439(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code, stating that bail orders remain effective until explicitly revoked.
