Case Summary: Samima Khatun v. State of West Bengal Outcome: The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the appeal, directing Samima Khatun's release on bail. The court set aside the High Court's impugned order, citing unreasonable trial delay: despite charges being framed on 20.08.2025, no prosecution witnesses had been examined. The court emphasized the right to speedy trial under Article 21 of the Constitution and considered Khatun's status as a 30-year-old woman with two minor children and no criminal antecedents. Bail conditions to be imposed by the jurisdictional court. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
