Suo Motu TR.No.6340 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 19.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.6340 of 2025 (C.C.No.200271/2012 of Judicial Magistrate No.1 Court, Arakkonam Taluk, Ranipet) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Govt.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 Sections 279 and 338 of IPC. The incident occurred on 19.06.2009. The de-facto complainant has obtained the compensation before the Tribunal and 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 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.
