    Case Summary: Sunil Khemraj Bahekar v. State of Maharashtra BA/423/2026 | High Court of Bombay, Nagpur Bench | 16 April 2026 The court granted regular bail to Sunil Khemraj Bahekar, accused in a murder case (Sections 302, 120-B, 201 IPC), after finding that his fundamental right to speedy trial under Article 21 was violated. Despite arrest on 30/08/2022 (3+ years incarceration), charges were framed only on 24/10/2024, and only 5 of 42 witnesses examined by August 2025 with no progress since. Relying on Supreme Court precedent that Article 21 protections override serious crime considerations, the court imposed bail with stringent conditions.
