Due to the passage of time, a meaningful trial is unlikely, and no useful purpose would be served.

Accordingly, the proceedings in CC.300083/2016 of JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE COURT NO.I, Tambaram Taluk, Chengalpattu is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 06.10.2025 veda electronically alone.
