Summary: This case is about Kannan, who asked the court to make sure the Vanapuram Police finished their investigation and filed a report on a crime from 2024. The court's decision was given on February 16, 2026, by Justice A.D. Jagadish Chandira.

The Petition and Its Purpose

Kannan, the person who started the case, filed a request under a section of the law that lets people ask the court to make sure the police do their job. He wanted the police to wrap up their investigation and file a final report for Crime No.24 of 2024. This crime was being looked into by the Vanapuram Police Station in the Tiruvannamalai District.

The Hearing Details

On February 16, 2026, the case was heard in the High Court of Madras. The lawyer for the government, Mr. S. Santhosh, represented the State through the Inspector of Police. During the hearing, it was shared that there were two people involved in this case. Kannan, called A1, is an adult, while the second person involved is a minor.

"The final report had been filed against Kannan, and the case was taken up for trial in S.T.C.No.2 of 2025 at the Judicial Magistrate, Thandarampatti."

Handling of the Minor Accused

Since the second person involved is a minor, the process was different. The final report about the minor was filed separately before the Juvenile Justice Court in Tiruvannamalai on September 10, 2024. This makes sure that the minor's case is handled according to the rules for young people.

Court's Conclusion

Justice A.D. Jagadish Chandira noted the information provided by Mr. S. Santhosh. With the reports filed and the cases moving forward in their respective courts, the request was closed on February 16, 2026.

Key Takeaways

  • The court made sure that the investigation and report filing were done as needed.
  • The difference in handling adult and minor accused was kept, showing the legal system's respect for age-specific rules.

This case shows how the court system works to handle investigations and the importance of doing things on time.
