2. The case was registered in Cr.No.369 of 2015 dated 29.07.2015 for the alleged offence under Section 294(b), 323, 324 and 506(i) of Indian Penal Code, 1860.

3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, defacto complainant remains untraceable and the antecedents of the accused, any further continuance of trial would impinge upon the accused's 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 CC.No.28/2020 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate Court, Tiruchengode Taluk, Namakkal, Pollachi Taluk, Coimbatore shall stand quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stand disposed of.
