Suo Motu TR.No.17090 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 14.10.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.17090 of 2025 (PRC.No.25 of 2017 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 PRC.No.25 of 2017 was taken on the file of the Judicial Magistrate No.I, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishnagiri, for the alleged offence under Sections 341, 324 and 323 of I.P.C. The defacto complainant submits that he doesn't want to pursue the matter further. The case is at warrant stage. D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J. Page No.1 of 2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.17090 of 2025 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. 4.Accordingly, the case in PRC.No.25 of 2017 of Judicial Magistrate No.I, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishnagiri, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 14.10.2025 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.17090 of 2025 Page No.2 of 2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
