IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 22.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY (C.C.No.100005 of 2018 of District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate, Denkanikottai Taluk, Krishnagiri) For Petitioner : Ms.G.V.Kasthuri 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 for alleged offences under Sections 279 and 304(A) of Indian Penal Code,1860. The incident occurred on 18.05.2017. The claim petition has been filed and compensation has been received and presently the defacto complainant is not traceable. Warrant is pending against the accused.

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 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 Page No.1 of 3
