STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs KISHORE

The Supreme Court addressed the procedural aspects of securing the presence of a respondent in criminal proceedings, emphasizing the need for timely justice under Section 302 IPC concerning the murder of Guddi. The Court held that the failure to secure the respondent's presence despite non-bailable warrants necessitated the appointment of legal aid counsel, thereby ensuring the right to a fair trial. The judgment reinforced the importance of expeditious judicial processes to prevent miscarriage of justice.
