Suo Motu TR.No.19479 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 23.10.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.19479 of 2025 (CC.2200584/2017 of JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE NO - II, Coimbatore Taluk, Coimbatore) 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 allegation in this case is that on 22.07.2017, the accused protested against the Government without due permission. A case was registered in Cr.No.559 of 2017 on 22.07.2017 for the alleged offence under Sections 143 and 188 of I.P.C. The final report was filed on 04.08.2017, and the accused have been facing trial since then. Thus, it can be seen that the allegations concern exercising the democratic right to protest. Given the context and nature of 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.
