IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
DATED: 23.09.2025
CORAM:
THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.16389 of 2025 (C.C.No.100153 of 2017 of Judicial Magistrate Court , Sriperumbudur Taluk, Kancheepuram) For Petitioner : Ms.G.V.Kasthuri 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. This case is registered for alleged offences under Sections 279, 304(A) and 338 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The incident occurred on 28.06.2015. The claim petition has been claimed and compensation has been received and the defacto complainant also doesn't want to pursue the matter further. The case is pending at summons stage.
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 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.
