Considering the allegations and the summons could not be served and thereafter, warrant is pending for all these years, 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. 3. Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.100187 of 2018 on the file of the learned District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Vazhapadi Taluk, Salem, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 01.09.2025 grs Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
