Panchapalli P.S., v. Ramesh S/O Subramani

Suo Motu TR.No.8663 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 17.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.8663 of 2025 (STC.No.106 of 2020 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Palacode Taluk, Dharmapuri) 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.53 of 2019 for the alleged offence under Sections 294(b) and 323 of IPC. It is stated that one of the accused had died and insofar as the other accused are concerned, Non Bailable Warrant is pending against them.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from their usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the warrant could not be served, it is evident that even if the accused are brought to face trial, it would impinge upon their right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.
