Suo Motu TR.No.10792 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 16.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.10792 of 2025 (C.C.No.209 of 2023 of District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate, Pallavaram Taluk, Chengalpattu For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Govt. 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 is registered for alleged offences under Sections 354(C), 324 and 506(i) of IPC. The incident occurred on 10.09.2017. The defacto complainant is present before the Court and submitted that he doesn't want to pursue the matter further. The case is pending for service of summons.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, 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.

D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J.
