The defacto-complainant does Page No.1 of 3 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Suo Motu TR.No.4272 of 2025 not want to pursue the matter any further. 3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, 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 C.C.No.120 of 2020 of Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Kallakurichi Taluk, Kallakurichi, stands quashed.
