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 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.1001120 of 2017 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court No.IV, Tiruppur, Tiruppur Taluk shall stand quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stand disposed of. 10.09.2025 kmm electronically alone.
