The Inspector Of Police v. Arvin Ranjith

Suo Motu TR.No.6383 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.6383 of 2025 (C.C.No.500463 of 2016 of Judicial Magistrate, Fast Track Court, Hosur, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Sugendran Additional Public Prosecutor

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 Section341 of IPC, 1860 and Section 4 of Tamil Nadu Harassment of Women Act, 2008 r/w.109 of IPC, 1860. The incident occurred on 21.06.2013. The de-facto complainant also doesn't want to pursue the case further. The case is pending at warrant 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 warrant could not be executed, 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.
