Crl.O.P.No.9143 of 2023

¶15

This Criminal Original Petition has been filed directing the respondent Police to alter the FIR and to include all the offences and make an enquiry and file a final report in Crime No.42 of 2023 dated 21.02.2023.

¶16

The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the FIR allegations clearly make out a case for registration of FIR for the offence under Section 307 of IPC also. However, the respondent Police has registered only for the offences under Sections 294(b), 324, 506(2) of IPC and Section 4 of Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, 2002. Therefore, this petition.

¶17

In response, the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side)

¶18

submitted that during the course of investigation, alteration report has been filed altering the offence under Section 324 of IPC as Section 326 of IPC and final report is also filed before the concerned Judicial Magistrate.
