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 in Cr.No.139 of 2005 is registered for alleged offences under Sections 4 and 6 of Child Marriage Restriction Act. The case arises out of a child marriage. The occurrence is of the year 2005. It can be seen that the child has become a major now and it is also stated that the child as well as the family is not traceable as they were residing in a rental house at the relevant point of time. It is submitted that there is no previous or subsequent case as against the accused and presently, the case is pending at the warrant stage.

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

4.

Accordingly, the proceedings in CC.No.800503 of 2015 of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishnagiri is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
