IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 25.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY (C.C.No.168 of 2021 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal) For Petitioner : Ms.G.V.Kasthuri Additional Public Prosecutor

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.955 of 2020 for the alleged offence under Section 294 (b) and 506 (1) of the I.P.C. The incident occurred on 18.11.2020. The defacto-complainant is present and submits that he does not want to pursue the case any further. There is no previous or subsequent case against the accused. The matter has been pending since 2020.

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.168 of 2021 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.

25.09.2025 ep Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated 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. 22.10.2025 ep Page No.2 of 3
