THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY (CC.294/2024 of XXIII Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Saidapet Taluk, Chennai) The State rep by The Sub-Inspector of Police MGR Nagar Police Station, T.Nagar, Chennai ... Petitioner Vs.

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.925 of 2016 for the alleged offence under Section 147, 148, 341, 294(b), 384 and 506(2) of I.P.C. The mother case in C.C.No.4495 of 2018 proceeded further and resulted in an acquittal. Page No.1 of 3

The grounds for acquittal also apply to the present accused. The matter has been pending for the execution of warrant.

3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the background of the accused, the reason for absence from her usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the 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.

4.Accordingly, the case in CC.294/2024 on the file of the XXIII Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Saidapet Taluk, Chennai stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.

24.09.2025 shl electronically alone. The Trial Court shall take note of the order and accordingly classify the case pending before them as allowed / dismissed / disposed of, etc, and while doing so, consider any applications such as disposal of properties, etc., and pass appropriate orders, as may be necessary. Further, the Court below is directed to dispatch the copy of this order to all concerned.
