Supreme Court rules investigation timelines are exceptions, not the norm, to protect judicial fairness and executive authority.
The Supreme Court ruled that courts should not routinely impose investigation timelines, stating such measures are exceptions, not the norm.
Timelines are only justified when there's clear evidence of undue delay or inaction that threatens a speedy trial under Article 21.
The court emphasized that investigations require flexibility due to their complexity and that setting deadlines from the start would infringe on executive authority.
It upheld the need for judicial intervention only when delays prejudice the accused, ensuring justice isn’t unduly delayed while respecting investigative autonomy.
The ruling also limited protective orders against coercive actions to two weeks, allowing lawful steps to proceed thereafter.
