ORDER

This Suo Motu Case is dealt with in an extraordinary manner by this Dedicated Bench, pursuant to Suo Motu.W.P.(Crl.) No.618 of 2025.

2. The case was registered in Cr.No.611 of 2016 for the alleged offence under Section 430 of IPC, 1860. The allegation in this case is that the accused tried to divert the water from its usual course and take it for his own fields. Page No.1 of 3

3. Considering the nature of allegations and the fact that the case is pending from the year 2016, any further continuation of the case, would impinge upon his right to a speedy trial. Due to passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.

4. Accordingly, CC.No.120 of 2017 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court, Dharapuram Taluk, Tiruppur, stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of.
