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. The case was registered in Cr.No.24 of 2022 for the alleged offence under Sections 511 and 420 of I.P.C. The allegation in this case is that the accused attempted to commit theft. The defacto complainant is present. She Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.9871 of 2025 also submits that the case need not be proceeded further. The case is pending from the year 2022 at the stage of execution of warrant on the accused. 3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, 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 CC. No.10 of 2022 of Additional Mahila Court, Udhagamandalam Taluk, Nilgiris, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 19.09.2025 mtl Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
