Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, comprising Justices K.T. Thomas and R.P. Sethi, dismissed the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the petitioner, finding no merit in the challenge against the impugned order. The Court noted the petitioner's concern regarding potential delays in the trial due to the absence of some co-accused, emphasizing that it is the petitioner's responsibility to seek measures under the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) to expedite the trial. The petitioner was allowed to move an application before the trial court to split the case against the apprehended accused for further proceedings.
