and submits that the two wheeler has been handed over. There is no previous case or subsequent case as against the accused. The case is pending at the stage of issue of fresh summon to the accused. The defacto complainant also does not wants to pursue the matter. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, 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.
