CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.11959 of 2025 (C.C.No.2261 of 2022 of XVIII Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Saidapet Taluk, Chennai) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Sugendran 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 is registered for alleged offence under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 17.12.2023. The mother's case in C.C.No.4264 of 2014 proceeded further and resulted in an acquittal. The grounds for acquittal also apply to the present accused. The matter has been pending for the service of the summons from the year 2022. Considering the factual matrix, the context of the case, the background of the accused, the reason for his absence at his place of residence, and the submission made that, despite best efforts, the summons could not be served, it is clear that even if the accused faces trial, no useful purpose would be served.
