Appeals Of Accused & Victims Under NIA Act Can't Be Dismissed On Ground That Delay Can't Be Condoned Beyond 90 Days : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of India has ruled that appeals made by both the accused and victims under the National Investigation Agency (NIA) Act cannot be dismissed simply due to a delay in filing. The court held that such delays could not be condoned beyond a period of 90 days. The judgment stressed the importance of timely resolution of cases, particularly under the NIA Act, which deals with offenses related to national security and terrorism. The ruling ensures that justice is not delayed for either party due to procedural shortcomings and encourages efficient case management.
