Suo Motu TR.No.19987 of 2025
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
DATED: 10.10.2025
CORAM:
THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.19987 of 2025 (C.C.No. 61 of 2019 of Judicial Magistrate Court No. I, Villupuram Taluk, Villupuram) 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. This case is registered for the alleged offence u/s.6(4) of TNSC (RDCS) order 1982 r/w 7(1)a(ii) of EC Act 1955. The accused was found to be in possession of 1356 Kgs of PDS rice. The occurrence is said to have happened in the year 2016. There is no previous or subsequent case against the accused. The case is pending for service of summons on the accused.
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.
