Suo Motu TR.No.12007 of 2025
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
DATED: 19.09.2025
CORAM:
THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.12007 of 2025 (C.C.No.358 of 2022 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 21 of Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation) Act, 1957 and Section 379 of IPC. The allegation is that the accused had illegally transported two units of river sand through his Lorry. The matter is at the fresh summons stage. There is no previous or subsequent case against the accused.
3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from their usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the summons could not be served, it is evident that even if the accused are brought to face trial, it would impinge upon their right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.
