IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 23.10.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.8879 of 2025 (CC.700051/2017 of JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE NO.I, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishnagiri) 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.This case in Cr.No.421 of 2005 dated 27.09.2005 was registered for the alleged offences under U/Cl, 4 of Lubricating oil and Greases (Processing, Supply and distribution regulation) orders 1987 r/w 7(i)a(ii) of E.C,Act 1955. It is reported that the defacto Complainant was found to be transporting engine oil without proper permission and as such it is seen that the main case in C.C.No.233 of 2006 ended up in acquittal for similar allegations and the case is pending in warrant stage.

3.Considering the nature of allegation, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, warrant could not be executed, 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.
