3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, antecedents of the accused, 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 proceedings in C.C.No.38 of 2021 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court, Gingee Taluk, Villupuram is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.
