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 the accused had broke open the ration shop and taken away 10 kgs of Toor Dhall and 25 Oil pockets.

3. The complaint itself says that even though the bureau was opened and 24 laptops were there, the said laptops which were kept in the premises for issuing to the students were intact. Subsequently, the accused was identified and he was also arrested and released on bail. The accused is a person who is living along with his mother and it can be seen that he has done this act because of his poor background. Now from the date of filing of the charge sheet, the accused is elusive. It is submitted by the police that repeated visits to the mother of the accused were only elicited a reply that she did not know where the accused has gone. The accused is not in the particular place and he has gone away. The age old mother only available. Even the Trial Court has recorded only deemed service while issuing Non-Bailable Warrant.

Therefore, considering the nature of allegations, even if in future the summons is served on the accused and the accused is brought to books, his right to speedy trial will be impinged. Therefore, no useful purpose will be served in keeping this case pending. 1/2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.
