Suo Motu TR.No. 3461 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 11.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.3461 of 2025 (C.C.No.221/2023 of JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE COURT NO.II, Kancheepuram Taluk, Kancheepuram) 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. The case is registered in Crime No.561 of 2022 dated 06.08.2022 for the offence under section 379 of IPC. The occurrence in this case happened on 31.07.2022. The complainant is present and submits that his bike bearing Registration No. TN-21 BH-9657 has already been returned to him. The accused remains untraceable and summons could not be executed for the past 3 years despite best efforts.

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, 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.
