CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.11772 of 2025 (C.C.No.27 of 2022of Judicial Magistrate Court, Avinashi, Avinashi Taluk, Tiruppur) 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.This case in Cr.No.477 of 2021 dated 10.06.2021 was registered for the alleged offences under Sections 380 and 457 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. It is reported that the defacto Complainant is presently not traceable. It is also reported that the prosecution has filed an application to withdraw the proceedings.

3.Considering the nature of allegation, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, summons/warrant could not be served/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.
