Summary
Petitioner sought quashing of proceedings arising from a 2004 FIR under Section 379 IPC. HELD- Though mere delay does not extinguish investigation, continued pendency despite petitioner not being named, acquittal of the charge-sheeted accused, absence of fresh incriminating material and complete investigative stagnation violates Article 21. Indefinite investigative inertia is impermissible and continuation amounts to abuse of criminal process; proceedings qua petitioner quashed.
