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 in C.C.No.606 of 2015 was taken on the file of the Judicial Magistrate No.II, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishanagiri for Page No.1 of 3

the alleged offence under Sections 379 of I.P.C. The occurrence is said to have taken place on 21.07.2009. The accused committed theft of gas cylinder of the de-facto complainant. It is reported that the gas cylinder has been recovered and returned to the decomplainant. It is submitted by the de-facto complainant that he doesn't want to pursue the matter further.

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

6tg 4.Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.606 of 2015 of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishanagiri, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.

07.10.2025 mp Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated 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.
