The Sub Inspector of Police – Appellant
Versus

Already, this Court disposed of this Suo Motu Transfer Case on

24.10.2025. However, today, this matter is listed under the caption 'For being mentioned'. The error mentioned is corrected and the following is the corrected order:-

"IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 24.10.2025 CORAM:

THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY Suo Motu TR.No.11609 of 2025 (CC.700109/2017 of JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE NO.I, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishnagiri)

For Petitioner : Mr.S.Vinoth Kumar Government Advocate (Crl.side)

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 Cr.No.180 of 2017 dated 24.03.2017 was registered for the alleged offences under Sections 294(b), 323, 324 and 506(2) of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. It is reported that the defacto Complainant does not wish to pursue the case any further. The case is pending at warrant stage.

3.Considering the nature of allegation, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, 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.700109/2017 on the file of the JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE NO.I, Krishnagiri Taluk, Krishnagiri stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.

24.10.2025 shl Note 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. Further, the Court below is directed to dispatch the copy of this order to all concerned."
