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.

4. Accordingly, the case in CC.No.400015 of 2017 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Hosur Taluk, Krishnagiri stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer case is disposed of.
