I understand your urgency to expedite the High Court writ petition for speedy trial under Article 21, and escalating to the Supreme Court via Article 32 is possible if delays violate fundamental rights. To advise effectively, please share: case nature (offense/FIR details), petition pendency duration and status (e.g., adjournments), lower court trial stage, and prejudice caused. In parallel, apply for early High Court hearing. Let's discuss drafting the SC petition next—justice delayed is justice denied.

You can file an application seeking ex-pedite, and expeditiously disposal or decision of the case. Also please mention the details of your case in order to get an favourable order for disposal of the same.

Yes, you have the right to approach the Supreme Court under Article 32 if your fundamental right to a speedy trial (covered under Article 21) is violated. However, the usual practice is to first move the High Court under Article 226 by filing a writ seeking early hearing or expeditious disposal. The Supreme Court normally expects you to exhaust that remedy before invoking Article 32, except in rare cases where there is gross delay or exceptional hardship. My advice is to first file an urgent application in the High Court for early listing/expedited hearing of your pending writ petition. If no relief is granted, then you may consider moving the Supreme Court.

Right to speedy trial is a Fundamental Right under Article 21. If your writ petition is already pending before the High Court, ordinarily the proper course is to first seek early hearing or listing before the same court through an urgent application. However, in exceptional circumstances where there is gross delay or violation of fundamental rights, you can directly approach the Supreme Court under Article 32 citing violation of Article 21. The Supreme Court generally expects you to exhaust remedies before the High Court, but it retains power to entertain such matters in rare cases of urgency or manifest injustice. A carefully drafted petition explaining delay and prejudice caused will be required.
