Respondent 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 for alleged offences under Section 379 of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred in connection with the theft of a mobile phone, which has already been recovered. The accused, who was arrested and remanded, has no antecedents. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, and the fact that the matter is still pending at the summons stage for the past five years, it can be seen that Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No. 414 of 2025 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. 3. Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.161 of 2020 of Judicial Magistrate Court No. II, Erode Taluk, Erode shall stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stands disposed of. 02.09.2025 nsl Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
