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 was registered in Crime No.359 of 2020 for alleged offences under Section 279 and 337 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The incident occurred in the year 2020. The defacto complainant had already filed a claim petition and compensation was awarded. Considering the factual matrix, Page No.1 of 3

kmm 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/warrant could not be served/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.

3. Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.107 of 2022 of Judicial Magistrate Court No, Sankarapuram Taluk, Kallakurichi shall stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stands disposed of.
