Suo Motu TR.No.18765 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 17.10.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.18765 of 2025 (C.C.No.1100600 of 2017 of Fast Track Court, (Magistrate Level), Tiruvannamalai Taluk, Tiruvannamalai) 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. This case, Cr.No.8 of 2012 is registered for alleged offences under Sections 294(b), 324, 323, 326, 506(i), 452 and 427 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The defacto complainant is present and submits that he does not want to pursue the case any further. There is no previous or subsequent case as against the accused. Further, the case is presently pending at the stage of summons. Page No.1 of 2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.18765 of 2025 D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J. 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.1100600 of 2017 on the file of Fast Track Court, (Magistrate Level), Tiruvannamalai Taluk, Tiruvannamalai shall stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stands disposed of. 17.10.2025 nsl Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone. The Trial Court shall take note of the order and accordingly classify the case pending before them as allowed / dismissed / disposed of, etc, and while doing so, consider any applications such as disposal of properties, etc., and pass appropriate orders, as may be necessary. Further, the Court below is directed to dispatch the copy of this order to all concerned. Suo Motu TR.No.18765 of 2025 Page No.2 of 2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
