IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
DATED: 16.10.2025
CORAM:
THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY (C.C.No.148 of 2016 Judicial Magistrate No.II, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri) 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.This case is registered in Cr.No.173 of 2015 for the alleged offences under Sections 279 & 304(A) of the I.P.C. The accident was occurred on 05.06.2015. It is reported that claim petition has been filed Page No.1 of 3
and compensation has been received. There are no previous or subsequent cases against the accused. The defacto complainant does not want to proceed the case any further.
3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, warrant could not be executed, 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.
4.Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.148 of 2016 on the file of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
16.10.2025 sha Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone. The Trial Court shall take note of the order and accordingly classify the case pending before them as allowed / dismissed / disposed of, etc, and while doing so, consider any applications such as disposal of properties, etc., and pass appropriate orders, as may be necessary. Further, the Court below is directed to dispatch the copy of this order to all concerned. 17.11.2025 sha Page No.2 of 3
