Suo Motu TR.No.2346 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 04.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.2346 of 2025 (C.C.No.400030 of 2017 of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri) State Rep.by Inspector of Police, Hosur Town Police Station, Krishnagiri District. ... Petitioner Vs. Tipper Charles ... 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 379 of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 12.09.2015. The allegation in this case is that the accused have stolen the Tauras Lorry belonging to the defacto complainant. It is submitted that the defacto complainant is not found in the Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.2346 of 2025 address given and his whereabouts are untraceable. The accused also remains elusive and warrant is pending from the year 2015. 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. 3. Accordingly, the proceedings in C.C.No.400030 of 2017 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate No.II, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 04.09.2025 veda Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
