This case is registered for alleged offence under Section 379 of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 29.09.2019. The allegation in this case is that the accused have stolen a sum of Rs.400/- from the defacto complainant. It is submitted that the money was recovered and handed over to Page No.1 of 3

the defacto complainant. The defacto complainant does not want to pursue the matter any further and as such, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the matter pending. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecendent of the accused, the reason for absence from their usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the summons/warrant could not be served/executed, it is evident that even if the accused are brought to face trial, it would impinge upon their right to a speedy trial. 3.

Accordingly, the proceedings in C.C.No.800 of 2019 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Tiruppur, Tiruppur Taluk, Tiruppur is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
