Suo Motu TR.No.920 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.920 of 2025 (C.C.No.106 of 2018 of Additional Mahila Court, Egmore Taluk, Chennai) K8 Arumbakkam Cr.No.1575 of 2013 ... Petitioner Vs. Mohanraj .... 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 294(b) of IPC r/w Section 4 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Woman Act, 1998. The incident occurred on 27.08.2013. It is submitted by the learned Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.920 of 2025 Additional Government Pleader that the defacto complainant is not found in the given address. 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, 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.106 of 2018 on the file of Additional Mahila 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.
