Suo Motu TR.No.11450 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 17.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.11450 of 2025 (CC.No.40 of 2023 of District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate Court, Karimangalam Taluk, Dharmapuri) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Government Advocate (Crl. Side)

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.183 of 2013 for the alleged offence under Section 394 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The stolen property has been recovered and returned to the defacto complainant. There is no previous case or subsequent case as against the accused. The complainant submits that she does not want to pursue the case any further. Warrant is pending against the accused.

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