CORAM:

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.

This Case in Cr.No.449 of 2016 is registered for alleged offences under Section 279 & 304(A) of Indian Penal Code. It is submitted that the defacto complainant has filed claim petition and received the compensation. It is further submitted that there is no previous or subsequent case as against the accused and the mater is pending at the warrant stage. Page No.1 of 3

3.

Considering the factual matrix, context of the case and the submission that, despite best efforts, warrant could not be executed, 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, the proceedings in CC.155/2019 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I , Ulundurpet Taluk, Kallakurichi is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.

17.09.2025 veda electronically alone.
