The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner lodged a counter complaint against the defacto complainant which has not been considered by the first respondent and no investigation has been conducted, which clearly violates Police Standing Order 566. He further submitted that the petitioner was also injured and took treatment in the Government Hospital and he had also produced Accident Register copy and the petitioner had suffered bleeding injury. Whereas, the defacto complainant had lodged a false complaint against the petitioner and based on the same the present case has been registered and final report has also been filed against the petitioner. Hence, seeks to quash the same. 3. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that the trial is half way through and already 7 witnesses have been examined and at this stage, the points raised by the petitioner cannot be entertained in a petition filed to quash final report. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 8386 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 4.
