No.618 of 2025. 2. This case is registered for alleged offence under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 19.10.2015. The property was recovered and handed over to the de facto complainant. The de facto complainant does not want to proceed with the case further. There is no previous or subsequent case against the accused. The accused is appearing in this case from the year 2016. Any further continuation of proceedings would impinge upon his right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, no meaningful trial is likely to be taken place and no useful purpose would be served.
