IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
DATED: 24.10.2025
CORAM:
THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.9769 of 2025 (C.C.No.159 of 2020 of District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate Court, Cheyyur Taluk, Chengalpattu) 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.This case is registered in Cr.No.216 of 2006 for the alleged offences under Sections 279, 337 and 304 (A) of the I.P.C. The accident was occurred on 16.05.2006. It is reported that the claim petition has been filed and compensation has been received. The matter has been pending since 2006. The defacto-complainant does not want to pursue the case. 3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, 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.
