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 occurrence was on 01.08.2019 for the alleged offences under Sections 294(b), 323 and 506(i) of IPC. It can be seen that there was a wordy quarrel between the accused and the defacto complainant that happened while standing in Athivaradhar Temple Festival. The case is pending at summons stage.

3. 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 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 case in CC.No.96 of 2021 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Kancheepuram Taluk, Kancheepuram stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of.
