Summary: On November 27, 2025, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court, led by Justice K.K. Ramakrishnan, made a decision involving Inspector of Police, Sathanku from Sathankulam, Thoothukudi District. This case revolves around a warrant and a court appearance that stirred up quite the situation.
This case, Suo Motu TR.(MD).No.4637 of 2025, traces back to a pending matter from P.R.C.No.1 of 2003. The case was originally on the file of the Judicial Magistrate Court in Sathankulam, located in Thoothukudi District. Inspector of Police, Sathanku, was the person who brought the issue to court, and Sudalai Mani, along with two others, were the people he was against.
On November 27, 2025, Justice K.K. Ramakrishnan made an important decision. The Additional Superintendent of Police from the Cyber Crime Wing in Madurai carried out a warrant to bring Inspector of Police, Sathanku, to court. This was a big deal because it meant the Inspector had to appear directly before the court.
"The warrant issued by this Court vide order dated 27.11.2025 is hereby recalled," stated the court order.
Even though the court wasn't completely convinced by Inspector Sathanku's explanation, they decided to cancel the warrant. This decision came after listening to the arguments presented by Mr. S. Ravi, the experienced Additional Public Prosecutor, and Mr. M. Sakthikumar, the Government Lawyer (Criminal Side).
The court told Inspector Sathanku to come back on November 28, 2025. This time, he was asked to bring a proper report regarding P.R.C.No.1 of 2003 from the Sathankulam Judicial Magistrate Court.
In summary, the court decided to cancel the warrant against Inspector Sathanku, but he still needs to appear and provide a detailed report for the ongoing case.
