Accordingly, the proceedings in C.C.No.22/2017 of District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate Court,Thirukalukundram Taluk, Chengalpattu is quashed and this Suo Motu Transfer Case is disposed of. 23.09.2025 Veda Note to the Trial Court: This order is digitally signed and communicated electronically alone.
