Suo Motu TR.No.2654 of 2025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 15.09.2025 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.2654 of 2025 (C.C.No.94 of 2022 of District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Vazhapadi Taluk, Salem) State Rep.by Inspector of Police, Vazhapadi Police Station, Salem. ... Petitioner Vs. Jeeshan George ... Respondent For Petitioner : Mrs.G.V.Kasthuri 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 Sections 279 & 338 of Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 04.12.2021. The defacto complainant is present and submits that he received the compensation. The matter is pending from the year 2021. Further, in this case, summon is yet to Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.2654 of 2025 be served on the accused. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case and the submission that, despite best efforts, the summon could not be served, 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.94 of 2022 on the file of District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Vazhapadi Taluk, Salem 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. 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.
