Suo Motu TR.No.2062 of 2025IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRASDATED: 17.09.2025CORAM:THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHYSuo Motu TR.No.2062 of 2025(C.C.No.543 of 2024 of Additional Mahila Court, Erode Taluk, Erode)For 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 2025.2. This case is registered for alleged offences under Sections 279, 304-A and 338 of the Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 10.01.2021. It is stated that the amount was claimed and that the case is pending at the stage of fresh summons. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the 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, no meaningful trial is likely to be taken place and no useful purpose would be served.
