Periyasamy2. Raja GP ... RespondentsFor Petitioner : Mr.S.Sugendran Additional Public ProsecutorORDERThis 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.
This case is registered for alleged offence under Section 7(1)(a) of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 2005. The incident occurred on 29.07.2018. The allegation is that the accused assembled in a particular place and were talking themselves to show the public who they are and that if they want to show who they are, they should damage the property relating to Page No.1 of 4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.1526 of 2025political parties. Considering the allegations and the summons could not be served and thereafter, warrant is pending for all these years, 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.
Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.100187 of 2018 on the file of the learned District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Vazhapadi Taluk, Salem, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.01.09.2025grsNote 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.
