IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED: 08.10.2025

CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.20406 of 2025 (C.C.No.1001047 of 2017 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.IV, Tiruppur, Tiruppur Taluk, Tiruppur) 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.The case was registered in Cr.No.229 of 2017 for the alleged offence under Sections 279 and 304(A) of I.P.C. The accident was occurred on 02.06.2017. It is reported that the accused is from Nigeria and unable to trace him. The case is at the stage of fresh summons. It is also stated that already claim petition has been filed and award has also been passed. But subsequently, the matter is pending in appeal. 3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, the case is in a fresh summons stage, 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.
