3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from his usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the summon 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.

Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.841 of 2019 on the file of Additional Mahila Court, Tiruppur Taluk, Tiruppur shall stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stands disposed of. 10.10.2025 nsl electronically alone.
