JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.9529 of 2025 (C.C.No.200007 of 2012 of District Musif Cum Judicial Magistrate No.I, Hour Taluk, Krishnagiri) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Sugendran Additional Public Prosecutor 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 allegations in this case are that on 31.10.2011, the accused protested against the plying of town buses and suburban bus. A case was registered in Cr. No.504 of 2011 for the alleged offences under Sections 147 and 341 of IPC. The final report was filed on 01.02.2012 and the accused have been facing trial since then. The case is now pending at summons stage. 3. Thus, it can be seen that the allegations concern exercising the democratic right to protest. Given the context and nature of the allegations, continuing the trial impinges on the right to a speedy trial of the accused. No useful purpose will be served by continuing the case.
