Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from their usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the warrant could not be executed, 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. 4. Accordingly, the proceedings in STC.No.141 of 2020 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Jayamkondam Taluk, Ariyalur is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 28.08.2025 veda Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
