The allegation against the accused is that he stolen a sum of Rs.300/- from the defacto-complainant's ice-cream shop and immediately the same was noticed by the defacto-complainant and upon shouting, the public apprehended him and a sum of Rs.300/- is also recovered. The matter has been pending since Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.2696 of 2025 2019. 3.Considering the nature of allegation and the matter is pending from the year 2019, any further continuance of the case would impinge upon his right to a speedy trial.
