Suo Motu TR.No.6110 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 17.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.6110 of 2025 (CC.No.500064 of 2018 of Additional Mahila Court JM Level, Dharmapuri Taluk, Dharmapuri) 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. 2.The case was registered in Cr.No.84 of 2018 for the alleged offence under Sections 417, 506(i) of IPC and Section 4 of TNPHW Act. Both the defacto complainant and the accused are not traceable. Non Bailable Warrant is pending against the accused. 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 warrant could not be executed, 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.
