CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.18904 of 2025 (C.C.No.100072 of 2013 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Harur Taluk, Dharmapuri) For Petitioner : Ms.G.V.Kasthuri 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.458 of 2012 for the alleged offence under Section 380 and 414 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. It is alleged that the accused being the father and son, stole a sum of Rs.54,000/- in marriage. The property bought out of the said amount was recovered and handed over to the defacto complainant. The defacto complainant is unable to be traced out. The accused is also said to be of young age. The accused are attending the Court regularly.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused and that the accused is facing the case since 2012, 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. Page No.1 of 2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
