Respondents 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 Sections 147, 148, 323, 324 and 506(ii) of the Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 20.03.2008. The de facto complainant is not traceable. The matter is pending Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.3904 of 2025 at the stage of fresh summons. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from their usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the summons could not be served, it is evident that even if the accused are brought to face trial, it would impinge upon their right to a speedy trial. Due to the passage of time, no meaningful trial is likely to be taken place, and no useful purpose would be served. 3. Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.106 of 2021 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Tiruchengode Taluk, Namakkal, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 15.09.2025 grs Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
