Suo Motu TR.No. 10323 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 13.10.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.10323 of 2025 (CC.600121/2017 of Judicial Magistrate Court, No.I, Tiruvallur Taluk, Tiruvallur) 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. This case is registered in Crime No.339 of 2016 for alleged offence under Sections 279, 304(A) of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred during the year 2016. It is submitted that the dependents of the victim and the defacto complainant are residing at abroad. It is further submitted that the compensation has already been awarded and they are yet to come to India to receive the same. It is reported that there is no previous or subsequent case against the accused and presently, the case is pending at the warrant stage.

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. 4. Accordingly, the proceedings in CC.600121/2017 of Judicial Magistrate Court, No.I, Tiruvallur Taluk, Tiruvallur is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 13.10.2025 veda 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.
