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 C.C.No.534 of 2015 was taken on the file of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishanagiri for the alleged offences under Sections 279 and 304(A) I.P.C. The accident was occurred on Page No.1 of 3

30.05.2009. It is reported that claim petition has been filed and compensation has been received.

3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, 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.534 of 2015 of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishanagiri stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.

07.10.2025 mp electronically alone. The Trial Court shall take note of the order and accordingly classify the case pending before them as allowed / dismissed / disposed of, etc, and while doing so, consider any applications such as disposal of properties, etc., and pass appropriate orders, as may be necessary. Further, the Court below is directed to dispatch the copy of this order to all concerned. Page No.2 of 3
