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 4(1)(a), 4(1)(i) and 24 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act. The incident occurred on 15.08.2022. The accused were found to be in possession of 215 bottles of IMFL liquor without any permission whatsoever. The accused are appearing before the Court regularly. Any further continuation of 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.
