Suo Motu TR.No.6715 of 2025 3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, 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. 4.Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.54 of 2008 of District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate Court, Tirukalukundram Taluk, Chengalpattu, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. It is made clear that this order will not in any manner affect the further proceedings even if any claim petition is filed. 23.09.2025 ep Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
