2. This case is registered for alleged offences under Sections 341, 326 and 506(ii) of the Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 03.03.2017. In this case, original de facto complainant has died. The legal heirs of the de facto complainant have no objection in closing the case. The accused is regularly attending the case. 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.
