3. Considering the factual matrix, context of the case, 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 C.C.No.135 of 2014 on the file of District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate Court, Uthukottai Taluk, Tiruvallur shall stand quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stand disposed of. It is made clear that even if any claim petition is filed at a later stage, the present order will not affect such proceedings.
