The stolen two wheeler Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.2060 of 2025 has been recovered and handed over to the de facto complainant. It is seen that this case is pending for the past four years. 3. Considering the nature of the allegations, 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, and 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 C.C.No.481 of 2021 on the file of VII Metropolitan Magistrate Court, George Town Taluk, Chennai, stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of. 03.09.2025 jd NOTE:This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
