The case is pending at the stage of warrant. 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 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 proceedings in CC.1300070/2017 of Judicial Magistrate No.3, Erode Taluk, Erode is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 18.09.2025 veda Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
