Suo Motu TR.No.2283 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 09.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.2283 of 2025 (CC.337/2025 of XV Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Egmore, George Town Taluk, Chennai) State Rep.by Inspector of Police, H5-New Washermenpet Police Station, Chennai. ... Petitioner Vs. 1.Harish 2.Kulla Karthi @ Karthi 3.Govindaraj ... Respondent For Petitioner : Mr.S.Sugendran Additional Public Prosecutor 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 Section 392 of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred during the year 2016. The mother case in C.C.No.2449 of 2017 as against A1 and A1 ended in acquittal. The Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.2283 of 2025 allegation as against this accused is also similar in nature and the case is pending at the stage of execution of warrant on the accused. Therefore, 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 CC.337/2025 of XV Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Egmore, George Town Taluk, Chennai is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 09.09.2025 veda Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone. The Trial Court shall take note of the order and accordingly classify the case pending before them as allowed / dismissed / disposed of, etc, and while doing so, consider any applications such as disposal of properties, etc., and pass appropriate orders, as may be necessary. Further, the Court below is directed to dispatch the copy of this order to all concerned.
