and the case is presently pending at the stage of warrant. The defacto complainant is present before the Court and has stated that he does not want to pursue the case any further.

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 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.

Accordingly, the case in CC.No.92/2021 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Poonamallee Taluk, Tiruvallur shall stand quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stand disposed of. 23.09.2025 nsl electronically alone.
