Government of Gujarat vs GYANENDRASINH LALSINH SINH Advocate - S S BHABHOR — 2222/2025

The court held that criminal courts must exercise their available powers under Sections 309, 311, and 258 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to ensure the right to speedy trial, with a watchful trial judge being the better protector of this right than guidelines. Section 258 can be invoked to stop proceedings in special circumstances where the accused's presence cannot be secured or important prosecution witnesses are unavailable, making normal trial procedures impossible or impractical.
