DATED: 17.10.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.17674 of 2025 (CC.1200097/2016 of Judicial Magistrate No.2, Erode Taluk, Erode) 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.566 of 2016 dated 12.07.2016 was registered for the alleged offences under Section 392r/w.34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The stolen property has been recovered and returned to the defacto complainant. The defaco complainant does not want to pursue the case any further. There is no previous or subsequent case as against the accused and the case is pending at warrant stage against A1 and A3. 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, warrant could not be executed, it is evident that even if the accused is continuing 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.
