Suo Motu TR.No.16572 of 2025 Suo Motu TR.No.16572 of 2025 D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J. Already, this Court disposed of this Suo Motu Transfer Case on 06.10.2025. However, today, this matter is listed under the caption 'For being mentioned'. The error mentioned is corrected and the following is the corrected order:- "IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 06.10.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.16572 of 2025 (CC.205/2020 of JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE COURT NO.I, Tambaram Taluk, Chengalpattu) For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Govt.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 in Cr.No.769 of 2018 is registered for alleged offences under Section 379 r/w 34 of IPC. The incident occurred during the year 2018. The allegation in this case is that the accused is said to have stolen two wheeler belonging to the defacto complainant.

It is submitted that the defacto complainant is not present in the given address and the accused also Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.16572 of 2025 D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J. veda remains elusive till date. There is no previous or subsequent case as against the accused and presently, the case is pending at the summons stage. 3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, 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 proceedings in CC.205/2020 of JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE COURT NO.I, Tambaram Taluk, Chengalpattu is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 06.10.2025 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. Further, the Court below is directed to dispatch the copy of this order to all concerned.” 17.11.2025 veda Page No.2 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.16572 of 2025 D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J. veda Suo Motu TR.No.16572 of 2025 17.11.2025 Page No.3 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
