Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, 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, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served. 4. Accordingly, the proceedings in CC.No. 4572 of 2019 of X Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Egmore taluk, Chennai is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 24.09.2025 veda Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
