ORDER

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

2. This case is registered for alleged offences under Section 279 and 337 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The incident occurred on 25.03.2020. In view of the fact that the defacto complainant has not filed any claim petition, it is seen that even though summons or warrant is pending, despite best efforts the accused could not be traced out. Considering the nature of the allegations, even if summons or warrant is served in future, it would impinge upon the right to speedy trial of the accused.
