THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.8111 of 2025 (C.C.No.211 of 2022 of Judicial Magistrate Court No-I, Udumalpet, Udumalpet Taluk, Tiruppur) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Sugendran Additional Public Prosecutor

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 Sections 379 of the Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 12.06.2019. The allegation in this case is that the accused was found to be stealing three units of sand in a lorry. The property was recovered and the lorry was also seized and thereafter, returned the interim custody. The accused is facing the proceedings regularly. Any further continuation of the proceedings would impinge upon his right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.
