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.187 of 2009 for the alleged offences under Sections 341, 323, 324 and 506(ii) of IPC. The defacto-complainant is present and submits that he does not want to pursue the case any further. There Page No.1 of 3

is no previous or subsequent case against the accused. The matter has been pending since 2009.

3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the warrant could not be executed, 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 C.C.No.157 of 2023 of District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate Court, Karimangalam Taluk, Dharmapuri, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
