CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.13300 of 2025 (C.C.No.814 of 2012 of XVI Metropolitan Magistrate Court, George Town Taluk, Chennai) 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.17 of 2012 for the alleged offences under Sections 174 Cr.P.C @ 177, 465, 471 and 304 (A) of the I.P.C. r/w 34 I.P.C. The victim has submitted that they have already got compensation by filing case before this Court and they have no objection for closing the case. 3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, 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.
