Suo Motu TR.No.6672 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 08.10.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.6672 of 2025 (S.T.C.No. 1092 of 2022 of Judicial Magistate Court, Avinashi, Avinashi Taluk, Tiruppur) 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 offence under Sections 4(1)(a) of the Tamilnadu Prohibition Act, 1937. The allegation in this case is that the accused was found in the possession of 180ml (2 nos.) of liquor. It is submitted that the case is presently pending at the stage of summons.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, 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.
