JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.19681 of 2025 (C.C.No.201 of 2020 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal) 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 in C.C.No.201 of 2020 was taken on the file of the Judicial Magistrate Court, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal, for the alleged offences under Sections 279 and 304(A) of I.P.C and Section 146 and 196 of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. It is reported that claim petition has been filed and compensation has been received. It is stated that the de-facto complainant is willing to close the case.

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.201 of 2020 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 17.10.2025 mp 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.19681 of 2025 Page No.2 of 2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
