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 offence under Sections 279 & 304 (A) of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 21.08.2016. The defacto complainant is present and submits that the compensation has already been awarded and further submits that she does not want to pursue the matter Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
Suo Motu TR.No.2066 of 2025 any further. The matter is pending from the year 2016. Further, in this case, warrant is yet to be executed on the accused. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case 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.
3. Accordingly, the proceedings in C.C.No.600059 of 2017 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Perambalur, Perambalur Taluk, Perambalur is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 15.09.2025 veda Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
