IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 24.09.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.15326 of 2025 (CC.No.1451/2025 of XXIII Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Saidapet Taluk, Chennai) 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. The case was registered in Cr.No.137 of 2024 dated 26.06.2024 for the alleged offence under Section 379 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The occurrence in this case happened on 26.06.2024. The complainant is present and submits that his three wheeler bearing Registration No. TN-22-DX-2278 has been returned to him. The complainant does not wish to pursue the case any further. The case is pending at FS stage.

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, 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.
