THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.13706 of 2025 (STC.684/2022 of DISTRICT MUNSIF CUM JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE COURT, Thirukalukundram Taluk, Chengalpattu) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Government Advocate (crl.side)

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.

The case was registered in Cr.No.135 of 2020 dated 26.02.2020 for the offence under section 4(1)(a) of IN PROHIBITION ACT, 6 and 11 of TN RECTIFIED SPRIT RULES 2000. The allegation in this case is that on 12.07.2019, the accused was found to be possession of 50 packets of illicit liquor and it can be seen that there is no previous or subsequent case against the accused and the case is pending in summons stage. Considering the factual matrix and context, any further continuance of the proceedings will impinge upon the accused's right to a speedy trial. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the matter pending.
