3. Considering the fact that summon was not served and consequently, warrant is pending, A2 is appearing before Court, by virtue of sheer efflux of time, any further continuance of case, would impinge upon accused's 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 proceedings in C.C.No.800760 of 2009 on the file of Judicial Magistrate Court No.I, Villupuram Taluk, Villupuram is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 10.10.2025 veda electronically alone.
