Suo Motu TR.No.1199 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 29.08.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.1199 of 2025 (CC.No.24/2021 of Judicial Magistrate No.I, Ulundurpet Taluk, Kallakurichi) 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 13.03.2019 at about 14.00 hours, the accused persons indulged in a wordy quarrel with the defacto complainant. Hence a case in Cr.No.180 of 2019 for an offence under Sections 294 (b) and 324 of IPC was registered. The case is pending from the year 2021 and now, it is posted at the stage of summons. The defacto complainant does not want to pursue the case further. There is no previous or subsequent case against the accused persons. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from their usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the summons could not be served, it is evident that even if the accused are brought to face trial, it would impinge upon their right to speedy trial. Due to passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served. Page No.1 of 2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
