3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, 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.181 of 2025 of District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate Court, Uthiramerur Taluk, Kancheepuram, stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
