No.618 of 2025. 2. This case is registered for alleged offence under Sections 147 294(b) and 506(i) of the Indian Penal Code. The incident occurred on 21.08.2018. The mother case in S.T.C.No.5 of 2019 against the accused Nos.1 to 4 proceed further and resulted in an acquittal. The grounds for acquittal also apply to the fifth accused. The matter has been pending for the service of the summons. Considering the factual matrix, the context of the case, the background of the accused, the reason for his absence at his place of residence, and the submission made that, despite best efforts, the summons could not be served, it is clear that even if the accused faces trial, no useful purpose would be served.
