IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 14.10.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.13049 of 2025 (C.C.No.4276 of 2014 of X Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Egmore Taluk, Chennai) 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 Section 379 of IPC. It can be seen that the mother case in CC.No.452 of 2012 was proceeded further against the other accused and ended in acquittal. This case is pending for service of summons, despite best efforts, the summons could not be served, 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.

4. Accordingly, the case in CC.No.4276 of 2014 on the file of X Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Egmore Taluk, Chennai, stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of.
