Hey folks! Here's an interesting case from the Madras High Court where the petitioner, S. Doraisamy, had a bit of a legal tussle to get his hands on a closure report. Let's break it down!
S. Doraisamy filed a request asking the court to tell the police to give him a closure report related to a trespass case from 2014. He also wanted the court to stop any decisions from being made in the related case until he got the report.
Back in 2014, Doraisamy had complained about some trespassing. This led to the police filing a report under various rules like 147, 448, and 427 of the Indian Penal Code. After investigating, the police filed a closure report, but Doraisamy still hadn't received a copy.
Judge N. Sathish Kumar decided that the trial court should give Doraisamy the closure report. He also made sure that Doraisamy would get enough time to prepare his case after receiving the report.
"The trial Court is directed to furnish a copy of the closure report to the petitioner and thereafter proceed, after giving opportunity to the petitioner."
The Additional Public Prosecutor, Mr. K.M.D. Muhilan, mentioned that since the case was from 2014, the police didn't have a copy of the closure report. Despite this, the court ensured that Doraisamy would get the needed documents.
The court ended the case by directing the trial court to give the closure report to Doraisamy and closed the connected miscellaneous petition.
