Petitioner Vs. Murugan ... 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 in crime no.30 of 2021 is registered for alleged offence under Sections 379 of Indian Penal Code. The allegation in this case is that the Page No.1 of 3 Suo Motu TR.No.9117 of 2025 accused has snatched the mobile phone from the defacto complainant. Now it is submitted that the mobile phone was recovered and handed over to the defacto complainant. The defacto complainant does not want to pursue the matter any further. It is reported that there is no previous or subsequent case against the accused. Now, the matter is pending at the stage of service of fresh summons. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place and the submission that, despite best efforts, the summons 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 CC.732 of 2024 of District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Sholinganallur Taluk, Chengalpattu is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 16.09.2025 veda Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
