Today, the matter is listed under the caption "For Being Mentioned".

2. It is stated that the earlier order was erroneous and the same is recalled and the following order is passed in this Suo motu TR.No.14015 of 2025:

"This Suo Motu Case is dealt with in an extraordinary manner by the Dedicated Bench, pursuant to Suo Motu W.P.(Crl.)

Suo Motu TR.No.14015 of 2025 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.100244 of 2018 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Harur Taluk, Dharmapuri, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of."

3. Therefore, the Registry is directed to transmit the corrected order copy to the Court concerned.

13.10.2025 ep 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.
