Thilaga Terrency v. The State of Tamilnadu
Case brief
What is this about?
Writ appeal W.A(MD)No.2002 of 2025 (connected C.M.P(MD)No.11584 of 2025) by Thilaga Terrency, filed under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent against the State (Principal Secretary, Home Department), Sub Divisional Magistrate/Sub Collector Periyakulam, Inspector of Police Palanichettypatti, District Collector and Superintendent of Police, Theni District, seeking to set aside the order dated 10.06.2025 in W.P.Crl(MD)No.113 of 2025. The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court (G.R.Swaminathan and K.Rajasekar, JJ., 25.07.2025) held that the writ appeal was not maintainable since the learned single Judge had exercised criminal jurisdiction and the subject matter pertained to the passing of an order under Section 164(1) of the BNSS Act. Following the Senior Counsel's submission to withdraw, the appeal was dismissed as not maintainable with liberty to work out rights in the manner known to law, without costs, and the connected miscellaneous petition was closed.
