IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 19.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.11873 of 2025 (C.C.No.60 of 2020 of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Govt. 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. This case is registered for alleged offences under Sections 379 of IPC. The incident occurred on 14/15.02.2020. The allegation is that the accused is said to have stolen the lorry of the defacto complainant. However, the property involved has been recovered and handed over to the defacto complainant. The defacto complainant doesn't want to pursue the matter further. The accused has one previous case and at the same time he is attending the case regularly.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused and that the accused is facing the case since 2020, 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. Page No.1 of 2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
