Suo Motu TR.No.5111 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 16.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.5111 of 2025 (C.C.No.786 of 2022 of Judicial Magistrate No.I, Pollachi, Pollachi Taluk, Coimbatore) 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 is registered for alleged offences under Section 279 and 304A of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 03.02.2022. The defacto complainant had filed a claim petition and compensation has been awarded. The accused was elusive, and no effective service of summons was made.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his 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.
