Dilawar vs The State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court emphasized the necessity for timely investigations under Article 21 of the Constitution, recognizing the right to a speedy trial as an implicit right. The Court directed the CBI to complete its investigation within two months, given that the accused had been in custody for over two years and the investigation had been pending for more than one and a half years. The Court also indicated that the petitioner could apply for bail before the trial court if still in custody, highlighting the need for accountability in the investigation process.
