Suo Motu TR.No.13087 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 10.10.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.13087 of 2025 (C.C.No.1/2024 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Villupuram Taluk, Villupuram) For Petitioner : Ms.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.The case was registered in Cr.No.438 of 2017 for the alleged offences under Sections 447, 341, 294 (b), 323, 324 and 506 (ii) of I.P.C. r/w Section 109 I.P.C. The mother case in C.C.No.105 of 2007 proceeded further and resulted in an acquittal. The grounds for acquittal also apply to the present accused. The matter has been pending for service of summons. 3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the background of the accused, the reason for absence from her 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 her right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.
