Suo Motu TR.No.9553 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 19.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.9553 of 2025 (C.C.No.200059 of 2011 of District Musif Cum Judicial Magistrate No.I, Hour 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 for alleged offences under Section 294(b), 323, 427 and 506(i) of IPC. The incident occurred on 24.02.2010. The de- facto complainant is not traceable. Accused No.2 died and Accused No.1/Respondent is not traceable. 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, the accused is facing the case since 2010, 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.
