No.618 of 2025. 2.The case was registered in Cr.No.450 of 2014 for the alleged offence under Section 379 of the I.P.C. The occurrence is said to have taken place on 13.07.2014.

The defacto-complainant does Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.1832 of 2025 not want to pursue the matter any further. There is no previous or subsequent case against the accused. The matter has been pending since 2014. 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. 4.Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.222 of 2015 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Perambalur, Perambalur Taluk, Perambalur stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 17.09.2025 ep Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
