Suo Motu TR.No.17924 of 2025
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
DATED: 16.10.2025
CORAM:
THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.17924 of 2025 (C.C.No.100215 of 2016 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Sirkali, Sirkali Taluk, Mayiladuthurai) 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. This case is registered for alleged offences under Sections 294(b), 353 and 506(ii) of the Indian Penal Code r/w Section 25(1-B) of the Arms Act. The incident occurred on 28.06.2016. The allegation in this case is that when the Police is in vehicle check, the accused has abused the Police. The case is pending at the stage of warrant. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from their usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the warrant could not be executed, it is evident that even if the accused are brought to face trial, it would impinge upon their right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.
