In Brief
A widow filed a writ petition seeking mandamus to protect her family, expedite the criminal trial of her son's killers (a police sub-inspector killed during an arrest operation), and claim compensation for her irreparable loss. The Court held that ongoing criminal trials must follow the law without supervisory intervention for expedition, and that compensation and protective relief should be pursued through appropriate State authorities rather than writ jurisdiction. The petition was dismissed while granting liberty to approach the State for administrative remedies."
