Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the 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 case in CC.No.463 of 2021 on the file of the XXIII Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Saidapet Taluk, Chennai stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of. 15.09.2025 rap Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
