On a perusal of the representation dated 28.02.2025, it reveals that the petitioner sought for alteration of the offences registered in Crime No. 37 of 2025. On the complaint lodged by the petitioner, already the third respondent registered the First Information Report in Crime No. 37 of 2025 for the offences punishable under Sections 296(b), 116(1), and 351(3) of BNS. After registration of the First Information Report, the third respondent conducted a detailed investigation and closed the case as a mistake of fact on 13.03.2025 itself. Therefore, the representation submitted by the petitioner seeking alteration of the offences cannot be considered, and the Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.14143 of 2025 4.
