IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 06.10.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.13637 of 2025 (STC.449/2022 of District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate Court, Thirukalukundram Taluk, Chengalpattu) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Sugendran 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.880 of 2020 dated 06.08.2020. After completion of investigation, the case was charge-sheeted for the offence under Section 279 and 338 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. It is seen that the defacto complainant is presently not traceable and the case is pending at summons stage.

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 summons 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.
