Time Limit-Trial
Before Sub-section 2B came
into effect on 1.4.1991, the trial of a Sessions Case was required to be
concluded within 240 days from the date on which the case was received for
trial by the Court concerned. If the trial could not be concluded within the
specified or the extended time, further proceedings in respect of the trial
would stand stopped and the accused persons released.

Trial
It is well settled that the
provision of section 339(B) Cr.P.C. is a mandatory one and unless it is duly
complied with, it vitiates the trial. Md. Ali Hossain Vs. The State, 14BLD

Trial
In view of the mandatory
provision of section 339C, a trial held and judgment pro- nounced beyond the
prescribed time limit is illegal and without jurisdiction-Cr.P.C. 339C

Trial Delayed-Bail
In view of the amended
provision of sec- tion 339C brought about by Act No. 42 of 1992 when the trial
of a case cannot be con- cluded within 360 days, the accused should be released
on bail even in a case involving non- bailable offences unless for special
reasons the Court directs otherwise. Inordinate delay in holding the trial is a
good ground for considering bail.
