Suo Motu TR.No.2631 of 2025 Suo Motu TR.No.2631 of 2025 Already, this Court disposed of this Suo Motu Transfer Case on 04.09.2025. However, today, this matter is listed under the caption 'For being mentioned'. The error mentioned is corrected and the following is the corrected order:- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 04.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.2631 of 2025 ( C.C.No.199 of 2023 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Ulundurpet Taluk, Kallakurichi ) Ulundurpet Police Station, ... Petitioner Vs. Rajini [Sankar] .... Respondent For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Government Advocate (Crl.Side) 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. Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.2631 of 2025 2. The allegation against the accused is that he has stolen copper wire worth of Rs.1,000/-. This case is registered for alleged offence under Section 379 of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 01.11.2023. 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.199 of 2023 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Ulundurpet Taluk, Kallakurichi, stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stands disposed of. 04.09.2025 jd NOTE: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
