Suo Motu TR.No.2693 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 04.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.2693 of 2025 ( C.C.No.224 of 2023 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Kancheepuram Taluk, Kancheepuram ) Sub Inspector of Police, Kanchi Taluk PS ... Petitioner Vs. Sunitha .... Respondent For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Government Advocate (Crl.Side) ORDER This Suo Motu case is dealt with in an extraordinary manner by this Dedicated Bench, pursuant to Suo Motu W.P.(Crl.)No.618 of 2025. 2. This case is registered for alleged offence under Section 379 of IPC, 1860. The incident occurred on 22.07.2021. The allegation in this case is that the accused had stolen the jewels of the de facto complainant. The stolen Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.2693 of 2025 property was recovered and handed over to the de facto complainant. The defacto complainant submits that she doesn't want to pursue the matter further. The case is at summons stage. 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. 4. Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.224 of 2023 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Kancheepuram Taluk, Kancheepuram, stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of. 04.09.2025 jd NOTE:This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
