Inordinate delay may be taken as presumptive proof of prejudice particularly when accused is in custody so that prosecution does not become persecution.
Section 34(2-A) stipulates that an award may be set aside when it is vitiated by patent illegality appearing on the face of the award.
From the aforesaid, it is clear that the availability of an alternative remedy does not in any manner affect the maintainability of the writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution.
Article 21 of the Constitution applies irrespective of the nature of the crime.
