D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J.

Already, this Court disposed of this Suo Motu Transfer Case on 16.10.2025. However, today, this matter is listed under the caption 'For being mentioned'. The error mentioned is corrected and the following is the corrected order:- "IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 16.10.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.12458 of 2025 (S.T.C.No.14207 of 2019 of Judicial Magistrate No.V, Coimbatore Taluk, Coimbatore) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Government 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. The case in STC.No.14207 of 2019 was taken on the file of the Judicial Magistrate No.V, Coimbatore Taluk, Coimbatore for the alleged offence under Sections 288, 337 and 338 of IPC. This is an injury case. The de-facto complainant Page No.1 of 3

has given consent letter to withdrawn this case. A1 attended court regularly and pleaded guilty and A2 is in summons stage.

3. Considering the overall nature of the accident and the fact that the accused (A1) has been facing the case for a long time and that he has now pleaded guilty, this Court is of the view that a penalty of fine of Rs.200/- for the offence under Section 288 of IPC and Rs.300/- for the offence under Section 337 of IPC and Rs.200/- for the offence under Section 338 of IPC shall be imposed on A1. Also, considering the factual matrix, it is evident that even if the accused No.2 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.

5. Accordingly, the S.T.C.No.14207 of 2019 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate No.V, Coimbatore Taluk, Coimbatore shall stands disposed of and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stands allowed.

16.10.2025 mp Note to the Trial Court:

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. Further, the Court below is directed to dispatch the copy of this order to all concerned."
