IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
DATED: 06.10.2025
CORAM:
THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.15297 of 2025 (CC.300990/2012 of JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE COURT NO.II, Tambaram Taluk, Chengalpattu) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Government Advocate (Crl.side)
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.This case in Cr.No.1595 of 2012 dated 08.07.2012 was registered for the alleged offences under Sections 294(b), 353 and 506(ii) of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The defacto complainant is presently not traceable. A1 has been attending the proceedings regularly and has filed discharge petition. The case is pending at summons stage against A2.
3.Considering the nature of allegation, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, summons could not be served against A2, 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.
