Quick Summary: The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court has told the police to carry out an arrest warrant that can't be avoided against Jeyapandian, after a request by his wife, Thenmozhi. The warrant was issued by the Judicial Magistrate in Paramakudi.
On January 28, 2026, the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, led by Judge L. Victoria Gowri, looked into a request made by Thenmozhi. She wanted the arrest warrant against her husband, Jeyapandian, to be carried out. This warrant was first issued on January 27, 2025, by the Judicial Magistrate in Paramakudi.
Thenmozhi made a formal request under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023. Her request was simple: she wanted the police to carry out the arrest warrant that had been ignored for over a year. Even though the Judicial Magistrate in Paramakudi had ordered it, the warrant had not been acted on.
Judge L. Victoria Gowri listened to what both sides had to say, with Mr. R. Sidharthan speaking for Thenmozhi and Mr. M. Sakthi Kumar speaking for the others involved. After looking over the case, the court told the Paramakudi police to carry out the warrant right away. The court also asked Thenmozhi to give detailed information about where Jeyapandian might be to help the police.
"The 2nd respondent police is directed to execute the warrant... against the 3rd respondent herein forthwith."
The case will be looked at again on February 16, 2026, to make sure the court's order has been followed. This follow-up is important to check that everything has been done correctly.
The court has ordered the police to act on the arrest warrant against Jeyapandian immediately, and a follow-up is scheduled to ensure the order is obeyed.
