ORDER

This Suo Motu case is dealt with in an extraordinary manner by this Dedicated Bench, pursuant to Suo Motu W.P.(Crl.)No.618 of 2025.

2. This case is registered for alleged offences under Sections 279 and 304(A) of IPC, 1860 and Sections 177, 134(a), 134(b) and 187 of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. This case is an occurrence of the year 2018. It is stated Page No.1 of 3

that there are no relatives and dependents of the victim, who are present and no claim was also been made for compensation before any tribunal. It can be seen that the vehicle involved was bearing Reg.No.HR 55 S 6271. The address of the accused is in Sikkar District, Rajasthan.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the summon could not be served, it is evident that even if the accused is brought to face trial, it would impinge upon his right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.

4. Accordingly, C.C.No.5567 of 2019 on the file of VI Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Egmore Taluk, Chennai, stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of.
