CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.12696 of 2025 (CC.301253/2016 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Alandur Taluk, Chengalpattu) 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.The case was registered in Cr.No.1302 of 2016 dated 28.09.2016 for the alleged offence under Section 294(b), 384 and 506(ii) of Indian Penal Code, 1860. It is stated that the defacto Complainant does not want to pursue the case any further and the case is pending at FS stage.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, defacto complainant remains untraceable and the antecedents of the accused, any further continuance of trial would impinge upon the accused's right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.
