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 case in C.C.No.266 of 2019 of Judicial Magistrate Court, Rasipuram Taluk, Namakkal, shall stands quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case stands disposed of. It is made clear that disposal of this case will not in any manner affect the further proceedings, even if any claim petition is filed.
