CORAM:
THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.1979 of 2025 (C.C.No.258 of 2022 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Chengalpattu Taluk, Chengalpattu) Chengalpattu Town Police Station ... Petitioner Vs. Thirunavukarasu (Appu)
.... Respondent For Petitioner : Mrs.G.Kasthuri Additional Government Pleader (Crl.side)
Order This Suo Motu case is dealt with in an extraordinary manner by this 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 IPC,
1860. The incident occurred on 10.10.2020. The stolen two wheeler has been Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
Suo Motu TR.No.1979 of 2025 recovered and handed over to the de facto complainant.
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.258 of 2022 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Chengalpattu Taluk, Chengalpattu, stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of.
