JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.2045 of 2025 (C.C.No.48 of 2020 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Sriperumbudur Taluk, Kancheepuram) State Government ... Petitioner Vs. Shek Rafi .... 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 Sections 379 and 511 of IPC, 1860. The incident occurred on 13.10.2019. The allegation in this Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.2045 of 2025 case is that the accused tried to start the Mahindra Van and steal the same and that stage, the accused was caught red handed. 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, the case is pending from the year 2019, and 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.48 of 2020 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court, Sriperumbudur Taluk, Kancheepuram, stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of. 03.09.2025 jd NOTE:This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
