Suo Motu TR.No.2037 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 03.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.2037 of 2025 (C.C.No.900064 of 2014 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Chengalpattu Taluk, Chengalpattu) Guduvancherry P.S ... Petitioner Vs. 1. Kumar @ Santhakumar 2. Karthik .... 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 17.01.2013. The stolen two wheeler has been Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.2037 of 2025 recovered and handed over to the de facto complainant. It is seen that no previous case is pending against the accused. 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.900064 of 2014 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Chengalpattu Taluk, Chengalpattu, 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.
