https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=188140 Section 309 CrPC requires criminal trials to proceed expeditiously and, once witness examination has begun, to continue day to day until witnesses in attendance are examined. When witnesses are present, adjournment or postponement should not be granted unless special reasons are recorded in writing; convenience of counsel is not a special reason. Repeated adjournments despite available witnesses defeat the legislative mandate and may amount to a failure of criminal justice and miscarriage of justice. The text states that, on these facts, the acquittal could not stand and the matter was remitted for further examination of the witness and completion of the trial according to law. en-us Thu, 29 Mar 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 19 Nov 2016 11:38:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=188140 Section 309 CrPC requires criminal trials to proceed expeditiously and, once witness examination has begun, to continue day to day until witnesses in attendance are examined.
