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. Page No.1 of 3

2.

This case is registered for alleged offence under Sections 379 of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 01.08.2018. The allegation in this case is that the accused has stolen a sum of Rs.30,000/- from the defacto complainant. The money was recovered and handed over to the defacto complainant. The defacto complainant is present and submits that he does not want to pursue the case any further. There is no previous or subsequent case as against the accused. Further, the case is pending at the fresh summons stage. 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 summon 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.

3.

Accordingly, the proceedings in C.C.No.300771 of 2018 on the file of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Alandur Taluk, Chengalpattu is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
