Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served. 4.Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.49 of 2014 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Chengalpattu Taluk, Chengalpattu, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 02.09.2025 ep Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
