No.618 of 2025. 2. The case was registered in Cr.No.149 of 2022 dated 11.12.2022 for the alleged offence under Section 379 r/w 34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. The stolen property of 4 sovereigns of Gold chain has been recovered and returned to the defacto complainant. The complainant is present before this Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No. 9294 of 2025 Court and has submitted that he does not wish to pursue the case any further. The accused has no previous or subsequent case. 3. 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 non-bailable warrant 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, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served. 4. Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.1143/2022 on the file of the XXIII METROPOLITAN MAGISTRATE COURT, Saidapet Taluk, Chennai shall stand quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stand disposed of. 12.09.2025 shl Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
