Right of speedy trial

Umesh (Querist) 08 October 2013 This query is : Resolved
Four years have passed after framing charges against accused and the complainant is not turning up to depose in court. Court is not closing prosecution evidence and says untill he does not turn up court will continue giving dates. Is it right?

no, it is not right, the court should issue warrant against complainant if complainant is willingly delay the proceeding.
the accused has right to file a writ before HC for direction of speedy trial.
