Suo Motu TR.No.18498 of 2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 06.10.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.18498 of 2025 (C.C.No.300202 of 2017 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Madhuranthagam Taluk, Chengalpattu) 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 is registered for alleged offences under Sections 279 and 304(A) of IPC. The incident occurred on 03.07.2016. The de-facto complainant is not traceable. It is not known whether any claim petition is filed or not. Even if it is filed it will not in any manner affect this case. Further, a non-bailable warrant is pending against the accused.

3. 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.
