IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 08.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.2822 of 2025 (CC.No.175/2018 of JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE COURT, Sriperumbudur Taluk, Kancheepuram) 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 when the police party were in the search of suspected criminals, the accused gave erroneous information and also indulged in ruckus. For the said allegation, Crime No.401 of 2017 was registered for an offence under Section 4 (1) (a) of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 2005. The case is pending from the year 2017 at the summons stage. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the summons could not be served, it is evident that even if the accused is brought to face trial, it would impinge upon his 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
