Suo Motu TR.No.7251 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 09.10.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.7251 of 2025 (STC.No.3315 of 2024 of Judicial Magistrate No.V, Puducherry Taluk,Puducherry) For Petitioner : Mr.M.V.Ramachandra Murthy APP, (Puducherry) Assisted by Mr.M.Thamizhmani(Puducherry) 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 for alleged offences under Sections 279 and 338 of Indian Penal Code,1860 (2 counts) and Section 146 r/w 196 of Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. The incident occurred on 19.02.2017. In view of the nature of injury no claim petition has been filed. The defacto complainant doesn't want to pursue the matter further. Non Bailable Warrant is pending against the accused. 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.
