It is seen that the case has been split up on many ocassions. It is reported that the identity of many accused itself is doubtful, whether such persons exist or not. Some of the persons are reported to be dead and warrant and summons is pending for some of them. The matter is pending for the past thirty five years. Absolutely no useful purpose will be served in keeping the matter pending. Even if any accused is identified and brought to face trial, the same will impinge upon the right to speedy trial. Considering the fact that thirty five years have gone by and the people in the vicinity are living a peaceful life. These case cannot be continued to be on the file of the Magistrate.
