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.637 of 2014 for the alleged offence under Section 457, 380 of the I.P.C. The allegation in this case is that the accused committed theft of defacto complainants 46.98 grams of gold jewels. It is reported that the stolen property has been recovered and handed over to the defacto complainant. The defacto complainant does not want to pursue the case anymore. There is no previous or subsequent case against the accused.

3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the Page No.1 of 2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Suo Motu TR.No.11420 of 2025 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 case in CC.No.300320 of 2015 Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Tambaram Taluk, Chengalpattu, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of.
