CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.11370 of 2025 (CC.300442/2014 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Alandur Taluk, Chengalpattu) For Petitioner : Mrs.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. The case was registered in Cr.No.21 of 2014 dated 13.01.2014 for the alleged offence under Section 294(b) and 326 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The allegation in this case is that due to a wordy quarrel, the accused along with others attacked the complainant. It is stated that defacto complainant remains untraceable. Warrant against A1 and A2 has been attending the proceedings regularly.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, defacto complainant remains untraceable and the antecedents of the accused, any further continuance of trial would impinge upon the accused's right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.
