DATED: 09.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.7990 of 2025 (STC.No.827 of 2023 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Chengalpattu Taluk, Chengalpattu) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Govt.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 offences under Section 279 and 338 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The incident occurred in the year 2023. In view of the nature of the injury, the defacto complainant has not filed any claim petition before the Tribunal. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, and the absence of accused from his address, it is evident that any continuation would impinge upon the 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.
