The Trial Court had rightly dismissed the petition. 4.Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. 17-03-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No GSA To 1.The Judicial Magistrate, Komarapalayam, Namakkal District. 2.The Public Prosecutor, Madras High Court. __________ Page3 of 4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 6886 of 2026 M.NIRMAL KUMAR, J.
