Suo Motu TR.No.810 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 02.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.810 of 2025 (C.C.No.4908 of 2018 of VI Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Egmore Taluk, Chennai) The State Rep. By its Inspector of Police, D6 TI PS. ... Petitioner Vs. J.Mohammed Sheriff .... Respondent For Petitioner : Mrs.G.Kasthuri Additional Government Pleader (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 is registered for alleged offences under Sections 279, 338 of IPC, 1860, and Sections 134(a), 134(b), and 187 of Motor Vehicles Act, Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.810 of 2025 1988. The incident occurred on 26.05.2017. The victim has filed a claim petition and the amount has been awarded. 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 summons could not be served for the past 8 years, 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 C.C.No.4908 of 2018 on the file of VI Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Egmore Taluk, Chennai, stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of. 02.09.2025 jd NOTE:This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
