Inspector Of Police v. Thirunavukarasu

Suo Motu TR.No.17240 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 23.10.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.17240 of 2025 ( CC.700143/2007 of JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE NO.I, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishnagiri ) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Sugendran 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. The case was registered in Cr.No.432 of 2006 dated 01.08.2006. After completion of investigation, the case was charged for the offence under Section 7(a)(ii) r/w. 3(2)(e) EC Act and 6(4) of TNSC (RDCS) Order 1982 and 186 and 506(1) of IPC. The allegation is that the accused were found to be in possession of 2500 kgs of PDS rice. The rice also has been recovered and handed over to the Department. 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.

D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J.
