The vehicle was recovered and handed over to the defacto complainant. The accused remains elusive and not traceable till date. There is no previous case or subsequent as against the accused. The case is pending from the year 2013 at the stage of execution of warrant. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case and the submission that, despite best efforts, the warrant could not be executed, 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. 3. Accordingly, the proceedings in C.C.No.1142 of 2024 of Judicial Magistrate VI, Puducherry Taluk, Puducherry is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 12.09.2025 veda Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
