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 warrant could not be executed, 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.101 of 2024 on the file of District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Modakurichi Taluk, Erode is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. It is made clear that if any claim petition is filed at a later stage, the disposal of the case, will not in any manner affect the same.
