IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 08.10.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.8671 of 2025 ( CC.6/2020 of Judicial Magistrate Court No-I, Udumalpet, Udumalpet Taluk, Tiruppur ) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Sugendran 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.637 of 2019 dated 25.11.2019. After completion of investigation, the case was charge-sheeted for the offence under Section 379 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The stolen property has already been recovered and returned to the defacto complainant. It is submitted that the accused is regularly attending the proceedings regularly. There is no previous or subsequent case as against the accused. The defacto complainant has no objection to the case being disposed of.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, 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. D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J.
