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.369 of 2013 for the alleged offence under Section 457 r/w 511 of the I.P.C. The occurrence is said to have taken place on 18.03.2013. The allegation in this case is that the accused attempted to commit theft in the defacto-complainant's house. There is no previous or subsequent case against the accused. The matter has been pending since 2013. Page No.1 of 3
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 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 C.C.No.2347 of 2021 of Judicial Magistrate No.I, Coimbatore Taluk, Coimbatore, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
16.09.2025 ep electronically alone. The Trial Court shall take note of the order and accordingly classify the case pending before them as allowed / dismissed / disposed of, etc, and while doing so, consider any applications such as disposal of properties, etc., and pass appropriate orders, as may be necessary. Further, the Court below is directed to dispatch the copy of this order to all concerned.
