Suo Motu TR.No. 2485 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 17.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.2485 of 2025 (C.C.No.79 of 2015 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Vanur, Vanur Taluk, Villupuram) The State rep. by The Station House Officer, Auroville Police Station, Villupuram. ... Petitioner Vs. S.P.Anand ... 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 offences under Section 279, 337 and 304(A) of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The incident occurred in the year 2015. The defacto complainant has filed a claim petition, and compensation has already been awarded. It is submitted that there is no previous or Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No. 2485 of 2025 subsequent case as against the accused and case is presently pending at the stage of warrant. The defacto complainant is present before the Court and has stated that he does not want to pursue the case any further. 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.79 of 2015 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court, Vanur, Vanur Taluk, Villupuram shall stand quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stand disposed of. 17.09.2025 nsl Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
