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 offence under Section 379 of IPC. The incident occurred on 29.01.2021.

The defacto complainant also does not want to pursue the matter any further. There is no previous or Page No.1 of 3

subsequent case as against the accused. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, antecedents of the accused, any further continuance of the case would impinge upon a right to a speedy trial of the accused. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.

Accordingly, the case in CC.54 of 2021 on the file of District Munsif -CUM- Judicial Magistrate Court, Vikravandi, Vikravandi Taluk, Villupuram is quashed and consequently, this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
