of warrant.

3.Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the background of the accused, the reason for absence from her 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 her 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 PRC.No.148/2017 on the file of the VIII METROPOLITAN MAGISTRATE COURT, George Town Taluk, Chennai stands quashed. This Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 24.09.2025 shl electronically alone.
