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 3(1), 4(1), 5(1)(a)(b), 6(1)(a), 7(1)(b) of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act r/w Section 109 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The incident occurred on 23.02.2012. The allegation in this case is that the residence of the first accused was found to be used as a brothel house soliciting people for prostitution through the victims. For the said allegation, the case is pending from the year 2012. There is no previous or subsequent case against the accused. The de facto complainant has no objection in putting end to the case. The accused are attending the case regularly. Any further continuation of the proceedings would impinge upon their right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.
