On 04.11.2025, the learned Magistrate, holding that the transactions are illegal in nature, had rejected the petition and the petitioner had once again re-presented the same on 07.11.2025 and the learned Magistrate has returned the same. When the learned Magistrate had rejected the petition on 04.11.2025, as rightly pointed out by the learned Magistrate, only a revision would lie against the order dated 04.11.2025 and hence, the petitioner cannot once again re-present the same. 5.In view of the above, this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition and accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. However, liberty is granted to the petitioner to file a revision against the order dated 04.11.2025. 6. Registry is directed to return the papers to the counsel for the petitioner. 16-02-2026 Neutral Citation: Yes/No DN https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 3750 of 2026 __________ Page7 of 8 To 1.
