IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 12.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.2767 of 2025 (CC.9/2022 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Tiruchengode Taluk, Namakkal) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Government Advocate (Crl.side)

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.359 of 2019 dated 01.08.2019 was registered for the alleged offences under Sections 279 and 304(A) of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. Defacto Complainant is present. It is stated that his son died in the accident. He has not filed any claim petition. Hence, the police is directed to furnish a set of papers if the defacto complainant wants to claim and the defacto complainant shall also avail the service of the legal services authority. The case is pending at warrant stage.

3.Considering the nature of allegation, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, warrant 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.
