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 in STC.No.2003 of 2022 was taken on the file of the Judicial Magistrate Court, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal for the alleged offence under Section 279 and 337 of I.P.C. It is reported that claim petition has been filed and compensation has been received.

3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, 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.

4.Accordingly, the case in S.T.C.No.2003 of 2022 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
