Supreme Court Directs WB Govt To Designate More Special Courts To Try Offences Specified In NIA Act’s Schedule

Case: Ashim @ Asim Kumar Haranath Bhattacharya @ Asim Harinath Bhattacharya @ Aseem Kumar Bhattacharya vs National Investigation Agency

Coram: Justices Ajay Rastogi and Abhay S. Oka

Case No.: CrA 1525 OF 2021

Court Observation: “Once it is obvious that a timely trial would not be possible and the accused has suffered incarceration for a significant period of time, the Courts would ordinarily be obligated to enlarge him on bail,”

“If this procedure is being followed in conducting the trial under Act 2008, it frustrates the very purpose with which the special Courts are designated,”
