3.In view of the consent given by the de-facto complainant and the fact that the matter is pending from the year 2010, and the submission that, despite best efforts, summons 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.

4.Accordingly, the case in C.C.No.2968 of 2019 of Judicial Magistrate No.IV, Coimbatore Taluk, Coimbatore stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of.

07.10.2025 mp electronically alone.
