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. Page No.1 of 4

2.The case in PRC.No.12 of 2009 was taken on the file of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishanagiri for the alleged offence under Section 147,336, 427 of IPC and 3(1) of TNP Act, 1992. There are totally six accused in this case. The mother case in S.C.No.47 of 2007 proceeded further and resulted in an acquittal. The grounds for acquittal also apply to the present accused. The matter has been pending for the execution of warrant.

3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the background of the accused, the reason for absence from her usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the warrant could not be executed and the accused remains elusive for the past 36 years, it is evident that even if the accused is brought to face trial, it would impinge upon her right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.
