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 in C.C.No..24 of 2016 was taken on the file of the Judicial Magistrate No.II, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishanagiri for the alleged offence under Sections 392 of I.P.C. The occurrence is said to have taken place on 25.11.2015. The accused committed theft of gold chain of the de-facto complainant. It is reported that the gold chain has been recovered and returned Page No.1 of 3

to the de-facto complainant. It is stated that the de-facto complainant died and the husband of the de-facto complainant submits that he doesn't want to pursue the matter further.

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

4.Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.24 of 2016 of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishanagiri, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
