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 505(1)(b) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 67 of the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008. The incident occurred on 18.03.2020. The de facto complainant is in abroad. L.W.2 is father-in-law of the de facto complainant. He is not attending the Court to come evidence. The allegation in this case is that the accused was having symptoms of Corona Virus and instead of subjecting himself for proper treatment, he ran away from the hospital and endangered the public safety. For the said allegation, the case is pending from the year 2021. The accused is regularly attending the case. Any further continuation of the proceedings 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.
