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, Cr.No.345 of 2013 was registered for the alleged offence under Section 294 (b), 323, 354, 506 (i) of the I.P.C. r/w Section 4 of Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, 2002. The occurrence is of the year 2013. It is reported that defacto-complainant is not found in the respective address and remains untraceable. Both the accused persons are said to be mentally ill. It is not possible for them to attend the hearings. They are also not co-operating for obtaining proper certificates. In view of the said circumstances, considering the nature of offence, and also the fact that the defacto-complainant is also not traceable, any further continuation of the trial would impinge upon his right to a speedy trial of the accused and no useful purpose would be served.
