Suo Motu TR.No. 13020 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 26.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.13020 of 2025 (STC.No.78 of 2022of Judicial Magistrate Court, Avinashi, Avinashi Taluk, Tiruppur) For Petitioner : Mrs.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 in Cr.No.1850 of 2020 dated 05.10.2020 was registered for the alleged offences under Sections 279 and 338 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. It is reported that the defacto Complainant does not wish to pursue the case any further and the case is pending at summons stage. It is not known whether any claim petition has been filed, even if it is filed, the quashing of this case will not in any manner cause prejudice to such claim. 3.Considering the nature of allegation, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, 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.
