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 in Cr.No.1199 of 2020 was registered for the alleged offences under Section 379 of IPC. The accused is said to have committed theft of electrical cable wire of 300 feet length. The property has been recovered and handed over to the defacto complainant. Defacto complainant has objection for closing the case, however, it may be seen that the occurrence of the year 2020. There is no previous or subsequent case against the accused and the case is pending at warrant stage.

3.Considering the nature of allegation, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, warrant could not be executed, it is evident that even if the accused is brought to face trial, it 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.
