Case History
Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 642/2002 On July 9, 2002, the Supreme Court heard appeals by CBI and the State of Jharkhand challenging the High Court's order quashing criminal proceedings against Harihar Prasad Singh. The Court held that the High Court was not justified in quashing the proceedings based on delay, as a Constitution Bench had recently overruled prior judgments (Common Cause and Raj Deo Sharma cases) that had imposed time limits on criminal trials. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed the prosecution to expeditiously proceed with concluding the trial.
