Suo Motu TR.No. 6701 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 22.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.6701 of 2025 ( C.C.No.100069/2016 of DISTRICT MUNSIF CUM JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE COURT, Uthiramerur Taluk, Kancheepuram) 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. The case was registered in Cr.No.156 of 2014 dated 24.03.2014. After completion of investigation, the case was charged for the offence under Section 457, 380 and 414 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The stolen property has already been recovered and returned to the defacto complainant. It is reported that A1 had passed away and warrant pending against A2. The defacto complainant does not want to pursue the case any further.

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.

D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J.
