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. The allegations in this case is that on 04.09.2017, the accused protested in connection with the NEET examination. A case was registered in Cr. No.880 of 2017 for the alleged offences under Sections 143 and 188 of IPC. The accused have been facing trial since then. Thus, it can be seen that the allegations concern exercising the democratic right to protest. Given the context and nature of the allegations, continuing the trial impinges on the right to a speedy trial of the accused. No useful purpose will be served by continuing the case.
