Suo Motu TR.No.8714 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 27.10.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.8714 of 2025 (C.C.No.700132 of 2012 of Judicial Magistrate No.I, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishnagiri) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Sugendran 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 in Cr.No.215 of 2011 was registered for the alleged offences under Sections 6 (4) of TN Scheduled Commodities [RDCS] Order, 1982 and 7 (1) (a) (ii) of Essential Commodities Act, 1955. The occurrence is of the year 2011. The allegation in this case is that the accused was found to be in possession of 50 kgs of PDS rice. There are no previous or subsequent previous cases against the accused. The matter has been pending since 2011. 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.
