Already, this Court disposed of this Suo Motu Transfer Case on 25.09.2025. However, today, this matter is listed under the caption 'For being mentioned'. The error mentioned is corrected and the following is the corrected order:- "IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 25.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY (CC.No.135/2022 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Government 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 in Cr.No.149 of 2022 dated 08.04.2022 for alleged offences under Section 279 and 304(A) of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The incident occurred on 08.04.2022. The defacto complainant had filed a claim petition and compensation has been awarded. The case is pending at summons stage. 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/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
