Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.

Accordingly, the case in STC.No.445/2022 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate Court, , Thirukovilur Taluk, Kallakurichi shall stand quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stand disposed of. 12.09.2025 shl electronically alone.
