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. Page No.1 of 3

2. This is an accident case, complaining of an offence under Sections 279, 304(A) and 337 of Indian Penal Code. It is reported that claim petition has been filed and compensation has been received.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, 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, the case in C.C.No.7/2019 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Udumalpet, Udumalpet Taluk stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.

10.09.2025 kmm communicated electronically alone. The Trial Court shall take note of the order and accordingly classify the case pending before them as allowed / dismissed / disposed of, etc, and while doing so, consider any applications such as disposal of properties, etc., and pass appropriate orders, as may be necessary. Further, the Court below is directed to dispatch the copy of this order to all concerned.
