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. The case was registered as Cr. No. 37 of 2023, dated 29.01.2023, for alleged offences under Sections 3(2)(a), 3(2)(b), 4(1), 5(1)(a) of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956. The allegation is that the Accused made the victim to involve in prostitution with other accused. There are no previous or subsequent case against the Accused. For the said allegation, the Accused is attending the proceedings regularly.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, 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. Page No.1 of 2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
