For Petitioner : Mr.K.Balasubramaniam For Respondents For R1 & 2 : Mr.R.Ganesh Kumar, Counsel for Government of Tamil Nadu (Criminal Side) p. 2 W.P.Crl.No.534 of 2026 ORDER This writ petition has been filed praying for a direction to the respondents to pass orders based on the representation of the petitioner dated 26.12.2025 and to take action against the 3rd and 4th respondents, within a stipulated time frame. 2. It is seen that the petitioner involved in four cases. However, all the cases ended in acquittal. Therefore, the petitioner submitted representation seeking departmental action against respondents 3 and 4. However, admittedly the petitioner was an accused in the above said four cases registered for various offences and the prosecution failed to prove the charges and as such, he was acquitted by the trial court. It does not mean that the petitioner did not commit any crime and respondents 3 & 4 foisted false cases against him. Mere acquittal would not give any rise to the petitioner to seek departmental action against the investigation officers. 3. In view of the above discussion, the complaint lodged by the petitioner cannot be ordered to be considered. As such, this writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. 20.07.2026 lok p. 3 W.P.Crl.No.534 of 2026 To 1.The Principal Secretary, Government of Tamilnadu, Home, Prohibition and Excise Department, Fort St.George, chennai - 600 009. 2.The Director General of Police, No.1, kamarajar salai, Mylapore, Chennai - 600 004. 3.The Public Prosecutor, Madras High Court, Chennai. p. 4 W.P.Crl.No.534 of 2026 G.K.ILANTHIRAIYAN.
