In the complaint, the second petitioner had stated that his son Ramarajan aged about 35 years committed suicide by hanging and that he does not have any suspicion about his death. 3.The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even though the FIR reads that as if the second petitioner only gave the complaint, the second petitioner did not give the complaint. The left thumb impression found in the said complaint and in the FIR doesn’t belong to him and at that point of time he did not even reach the spot and he was only travelling in the bus from Chennai to Yindivanam. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 18744 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 5 4. Per contra the learned counsel for Government of Tamil Nadu ( Crl side) would submit that based on the FIR, due investigation has been made and the final report will be filed in accordance with law within a period of one week. 5.Considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, if the petitioner had originally stated that he doesn’t have any doubt in the death of his son and subsequently he is changing his stand, then the respondent police is right in concluding the investigation. But however, the case of the petitioner is that he never gave such a complaint. 6. In view thereof, the second respondent/The Deputy Superintendent of Police shall conduct and enquiry in this regard. The petitioner shall be present before the second respondent and affix his left thumb impression in the presence of the second respondent. The second respondent shall duly compare the same with that of the left thumb impression found in the complaint as well as in the FIR by sending it to due experts, and if only the left thumb impression differs and the version of the petitioner is prima facie found to be correct, then take further steps to investigate into the matter by duly altering the FIR and also initiating appropriate action for registering of false complaint. If the left thumb impression is found to be one and same, then due action as against the petitioners herein for coming up with the false evidence before this Court shall be taken. The afore said enquiry shall be completed within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a web copy of this order. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 18744 of 2026 __________ Page4 of 5 8.With the above observations and directions, this Criminal Original petition stands disposed of. 15-07-2026 Neutral Citation: Yes/No SMN To. 1.
