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 in Cr.No.89 of 2022 dated 26.03.2022 for alleged offences under Section 379 of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred in connection with the theft of a mobile phone, which has already been recovered. The case is pending at warrant stage. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, and the fact that the matter is still pending at the summons stage, it can be seen that even if the accused is brought to face trial, it would impinge upon his right to a Page No.1 of 3
speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.
