3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, the antecedents of the accused, the reason for absence from their usual place, and the submission that, despite best efforts, the warrant could not be executed, it is evident that even if the accused are brought to face trial, it would impinge upon their 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 SC No.400112 of 2015 on the file of Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Chengalpattu Taluk, Chengalpattu, shall stand quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stand disposed of. 06.10.2025 rap electronically alone.
