Suo Motu TR.No.18795 of 2025
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
DATED: 27.10.2025
CORAM:
THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.18795 of 2025 (C.C.No.1188 of 2021 of the Judicial Magistrate Court No.VIII, Coimbatore Taluk, Coimbatore) 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 Indian Penal Code, 1860. The incident occurred on 23.04.2021. The de-facto complainant specifically submits that he doesn't want to file any claim petition and doesn't want to pursue the case any further. The case is presently pending at the stage of summons.
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.
