                                  Criminal Revision Case filed under Section 397 read with Section 401 of
                     Cr.P.C. and Sections 438 and 442 of BNSS, against the order dated 16.12.2024 in
                     Crl.M.P.No.717 of 2019 in C.C.No.6066 of 2016 on the file of the XXIII
                     Metropolitan Magistrate, Saidapet, Chennai-15.
                                               For petitioner :      Mr.A.K.Shriram, Senior Counsel
                                                                        for Mr.Valibha R.Venkatesh

This revision petition is filed challenging the order dated 16.12.2024 in

Crl.M.P.No.717 of 2019 in C.C.No.6066 of 2016 on the file of the XXIII

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

Metropolitan Magistrate, Saidapet, Chennai-15.

2. The revision petitioner is A1 in C.C.No.6066 of 2016. The respondent

herein filed a complaint under Section 200 and 190 of Cr.P.C. before the XXIII

Metropolitan Magistrate against the revision petitioner/A1 and another, for the

offences under Sections 109, 448, 427 and 506 (Part-2) IPC. The learned

Magistrate took cognizance of the complaint in C.C.No6066 of 2016. Pending the

said C.C., the revision petitioner/A1 filed an application to drop further

proceedings as against the revision petitioner. The Metropolitan Magistrate, after

hearing both sides, dismissed the petition on the ground of maintainability,

against which, the present revision petition is filed by A1.

3. The case of the respondent/complainant is as follows:

(i) The complainat is in-charge of the day-to-day maintenance and

activities of Chettinad House, M.R.C.Nagar, Raja Annamalaipuram, Chennai-600

028. The land in R.S.No.4288/13 at MRC.Nagar, Chennai-600 028, is owned by

Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy, Kumararni Dr.Meena Muthiah and Mr.M.A.M.M.Annamalai

measuring at about 50 grounds, who are residing at Chettinad House, Raja

Annamalaipuram, Chennai-600 028.

(ii) The said property was given on an oral lease to South India

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

Corporation Private Limited till 31.03.2014 and after expiry of the lease period,

the South India Corporation Private Limited voluntarily vacated and surrendered

the possession. Thereafter, the entire property is in possession, ownership and

enjoyment of Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy and the other co-owners by paying the

necessary tax dues to the Government authorities.

(iii) The Chettinad Security Group, led by one Azhagu, the second accused

and his associates/security guards, at the instigation of A1/Mr.M.A.M.R.Muthiah,

with an intention to grab the above said property, trespassed unlawfully and

caused damage to the property and threatened the security staff with dire

consequences and indulged in criminal activities, picked up wordy quarrel on

several occasions and caused simple injury.

(iv) To overcome their illegal activities, the said Azhagu (A2) made false

Police complaint against the respondent herein/complainant to the Inspector of

Police, E.5 Pattinapakkam Police Station, Chennai-600 028. After enquiry, the

complaint was closed by the E.5 Pattinapakkam Police Station.

(v) The complainant frequently visits and inspects the property, depending

upon the day-to-day affairs, activities and directions of Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy,

who is a aged person/senior citizen and employer of the complainant.

(vi) On 21.02.2015 at about 7.30 p.m., A2 and his associates entered into

the above said property by breaking open the locks of main entrance gate and

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

threatened the security of the property who guarded the same as per the

direction of Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy. A2 and his associates snatched the key and

cell phone and tried to assault the said security guards. On hearing the news on

the next day, Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy directed his servants to rush to the spot and

enquired about the offences committed by A2 and his associates.

(vii) On verification, the complainant and Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy found

that the main gate was damaged and caused loss worth about Rs.25,000/- by

trespassing into the above said property by A2 and his associates at the

instigation of A1 Mr.M.A.M.R.Muthiah, who is making all sorts of illegal activities

to grab the property from Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy.

(viii) Aggrieved by the above illegal acts, the said Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy

lodged a Police complainant to the Inspector of Police, E.5 Pattinapakkam Police

Station on 22.02.2015. A1 and his associates threatened the security guards

(employed) of Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy on 21.02.2015 at about 7.30 p.m. and at

that time, they mentioned that no one should inform to the Police, otherwise,

they will go to any extent including killing of them as per the instructions of A1

and further informed that they could do whatever they like and they were above

the law of land.

(ix) After hearing the above incident, the security guards reluctantly

informed to the complainant as well as Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy by fearing their

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

life at the hands of A1 and A2. Thereafter, on due verification, the complainant

and Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy came to know about the above incident and

immediately lodge a complaint before the Inspector of Police, E.5 Pattinapakkam

Police Station.

(x) However, the security guards employed by Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy are

in constant and continuing fear of their life and safety of the property guarded by

them due to the illegal activities of A1 and A2.

(xi) After receipt of the complaint dated 22.02.2015 from

Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy by the Inspector of Police, E.5 Pattinapakkam Police

Station, gave a petition receipt in C.S.R.No.125 of 2015, dated 23.02.2015.

However, no action was taken against the accused persons by the Police.

(xii) All the above offences under Sections 109, 448, 427 and 506 (Part-2)

of IPC, committed by the accused persons, are cognizable in nature and it is the

duty of the Police to register a case against the accused persons. But, no action

was taken on the said complaint dated 22.02.2015 by the Police. Hence, the

respondent/complainant filed the complaint before the Court for taking the

private complaint on file and take appropriate steps to punish the accused

persons for the offences under Sections 109, 448, 427 and 506 (Part-2) IPC.

4. The revision petitioner herein is arrayed as A1. Pending the said

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

C.C.No.6066 of 2016, the revision petitioner has filed a petition before the

Metropolitan Magistrate to drop the proceedings against him, on the ground that

no prima-facie case is made out as against the revision petitioner/A1 in respect

of the said offences.

5. It is seen from the records that originally, the complaint was filed for

the offences under Sections 109, 448, 427 and 506 (Part-2) IPC. The learned

Metropolitan Magistrate has taken cognizance of the complaint only under

Sections 427 and 448 IPC and after receiving the report from the Police under

Section 202 Cr.P.C. Thereafter, after receipt of summons, the revision

petitioner/A1 has filed a petition to drop the proceedings against him, and the

said petition was dismissed, against which, A1 has filed the present revision

petition.

6. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioner

submitted that the learned Metropolitan Magistrate failed to consider the fact as

to whether prima-facie case is made out or not, to prosecute against the accused

persons for the offences under Sections 427 and 448 IPC. The Metropolitan

Magistrate simply dismissed the petition on the ground that since the cognizance

of the complaint for the offences are summary in nature and there is no specific

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

provision for discharge of the revision petitioner/A1. Therefore, the petition was

dismissed by the Metropolitan Magistrate by the impugned order on the ground

of maintainability. Hence, the revision petitioner/A1 has approached this Court.

7. The learned Senior Counsel further contended that when the revision

petitioner/A1 approached this Court in Crl.O.P.No.1328 of 2017 to quash the

prosecution in C.C.No.6066 of 2016 and this Court dismissed the said Crl.O.P. on

29.01.2019, with liberty to the revision petitioner to agitate the points during

trial, without expressing any view regarding the merits of the case. As against

the said order of this Court, the present revision petitioner/A1 approached the

Supreme Court in S.L.P.(Crl).Diary No.25695 of 2019, and the Supreme Court,

while issuing notice, granted interim order on 06.09.2019 holding that, "In the

meantime, there shall be stay of further proceedings in M.P.No.4433 of 2015 in

C.C.No.6066/2016 pending before the Court of XXIII, Metropolitan Magistrate,

Saidapet, Chennai for a period of eight weeks from today".

8. According to the learned Senior Counsel, thereafter, the revision

petitioner herein/A1 again approached the Supreme Court in Petition for Special

Leave to Appeal (Crl) No.8227 - 8230 of 2019, challenging the order of this

Court, dated 29.01.2019 passed in Crl.O.P.No.1328 of 2017 on the file of this

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

Court, and the said petition was disposed of by the Supreme Court on

05.01.2024 holding as follows:

"We are not inclined to interfere with the impugned judgment and hence, the special leave petitions are dismissed.

We, however, clarify that the impugned judgment and the dismissal of the present special leave petition will not bar or prohibit the petitioner-

M.A.M.R.Muthiah from raising all pleas and contentions before the trial court including the contention with regard to the effect of the death of Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy, and whether the prosecution in a private complaint case, can continue.

It will be open to the petitioner--M.A.M.R.Muthiah to file an application for exemption from personal appearance. If any such application is filed, the same will be considered and examined in accordance with law.

                                                 Pending      application(s),        if   any,         shall    stand
                                        disposed of."




9. The revision petitioner/A1 thereafter approached the Metropolitan

Magistrate by filing petition for dropping the proceedings in Crl.M.P.No.717 of

2019 in C.C.No.6066 of 2016, and the said petition was dismissed by the

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

Magistrate on the ground of maintainability.

10. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioner

further contended that the respondent herein/complainant has filed the

complaint as Power Agent based on the Power of Attorney. Subsequently, the

principal died and therefore, the Power of Attorney becomes invalid upon the

death of the principal. Therefore, the respondent/complainant does not have any

authority to continue the impugned prosecution in this case.

11. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioner/A1

further stated that the complaint to the Police was preferred by the father of the

revision petitioner, i.e. Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy and subsequently, the complaint

has been preferred before the Magistrate by the respondent/complainant. There

is no averment in the complaint and in the sworn statement, in his capacity, it is

stated that the complaint was preferred by the respondent, but on the other

hand, in the investigation report filed by the Police before the Metropolitan

Magistrate, in the list of documents, it is mentioned as Power of Attorney.

Taking into account that if the prosecution is initiated on the basis of the Power

of Attorney, then the prosecution is liable to be quashed for the reason that,

upon the death of the principal, namely Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy, the Power of

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

Attorney ceases to exist. Even as per the statement of the

respondent/complainant, the Power of Attorney was given to him by

Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy only to manage the affairs of the house and clearly, there

is no authorisation for the complainant to file the present complaint.

12. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioner/A1

further stated across the Bar that even according to the case of the prosecution,

the petitioner was not present at the place of occurrence on 21.02.2015 and

therefore, the revision petitioner/A1 cannot be charged for the offences stated in

the complaint, when the fact remains that the revision petitioner/A1 has not

committed any offence.

13. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioner further

contended that no allegations have been made out as against the revision

petitioner/A1 in respect of the offences under Sections 427 and 448 IPC. The

respondent/complainant is not the eye-witness to the alleged occurrence on

21.02.2015. The complainant did not report with regard to any of the events ,

and even the said M.A.M.Ramaswamy was not an eye-witness to the alleged

occurrence. His version to the Police is also based on what he had heard.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

14. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioner also stated

that a prima-facie case has not been made out in the instant case, even as per

the version of the complainant and the report, dated 21.07.2016 filed by the

Police under Section 202 Cr.P.C. The revision petitioner/A1 was not even

present in the scene of occurrence and the same is evident on a bare reading of

the complaint and the statement of the respondent/complainant and the

evidence of the witnesses recorded before the Court.

15. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioner also

stated that the complainant has not produced any material evidence at the time

of lodging the complaint to the Police or at the time of filing the complaint before

the learned Magistrate.

16. To substantiate the above contentions, the learned Senior Counsel

appearing for the revision petitioner/A1 contended that although the revision

petitioner is alleged to have damaged the lock of the main entrance, which is

worth about Rs.25,000/-, there is no shadow of evidence to prove the

involvement of the revision petitioner/A1 and there is no proof to support such

act.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

17. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioner further

brought to the notice of this Court that even the Police report under Section 202

Cr.P.C. enquiry, does not make out any offence under Section 442 IPC or,

Section 427 IPC or Section 448 IPC. Therefore, the cognizance of the case

ordered by the Magistrate has not been adequately been considered in the Police

report in its entirety. The police report, under Section 202 Cr.P.C. clearly shows

that the offences of criminal intimidation and abetment, are not made out.

Therefore, the cognizance order rules out the abetment or criminal intimidation

allegations against the revision petitioner/A1. The very same Police report states

that only the offence under Section 441 IPC is made out for criminal trespass

against A2 alone. Therefore, in the absence of any criminality, no offence has

been made out against the revision petitioner/A1.

18. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioner

further stated that the Metropolitan Magistrate failed to consider the fact that the

petition filed by the revision petitioner/A1 for dropping of the proceedings as

against A1, is not maintainable. The learned Magistrate has glossed over the fact

that Section 251 Cr.P.C. gives statutory right for an accused to file discharge

petition before the Court and such a right emanates from the statute. Such a

right can neither be granted nor taken away nor watered down as per the order

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

of the Honourable Supreme Court or any Court. Moreover, the Honourable

Supreme Court, in the instant case, has left open all the rights and contentions

available under law for the revision petitioner. Therefore, the revision

petitioner/A1 has filed the petition before the Court below for discharging him

from the case, but the learned Magistrate failed to consider the same in proper

perspective and simply dismissed the discharge petition on the ground that there

is no specific provision of law to discharge the revision petitioner in any

summons case, which warrants interference by this Court on that score.

19. In support of all his contentions, the learned Senior Counsel appearing

for the petitioner/A1 relied on a decision of the Supreme Court reported in

2012 (5) SCC 424 (Bhushan Kumar Vs. State (NCT of Delhi) ).

20. Per contra, learned counsel appearing for the respondent/complainant

contended that the present revision petition is the second round of litigation and

the revision petitioner/A1's father, i.e. Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy has already

approached this Court in Crl.O.P.No.7693 of 2015 to direct the respondent/Police

therein, to register a case on the complaint made by the said

Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy. This Crl.O.P. was dismissed with liberty to Muthuvellayan

to file a fresh petition. Even though the said Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy approached

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

the Honourable Supreme Court by way of Special Leave Petition(s), the

Honourable Supreme Court dismissed the petition for Special Leave to Appeal

(Crl.) No.8227 and 8230 of 2019 on 05.01.2014, thereby, confirming the order

dated 29.01.2019 passed by this Court in Crl.O.P.No.1328 of 2017.

21. Learned counsel for the respondent/complainant also stated that the

complaint was taken cognizance of the same being summons case and Section

251 Cr.P.C. is clear that in a summons case, no charge need to be framed and

only based on materials, the Court can decide the case and in the absence of any

specific provisions, the revision petitioner/A1 is not entitled to file a petition

before the Magistrate to discharge him from the case. Thus, it is crystal clear

that the learned Magistrate had rightly dismissed the discharge petition and

hence, the present Crl.R.C. lacks merit for consideration.

22. The learned counsel for the respondent/complainant also contended

that the petitioner/A1 has to undergo the ordeal of trial to prove his innocence

and not by way of the present revision petition challenging the dismissal of the

discharge petition. The grounds raised in this revision petition are all the

defences that could be raised only at the time of tendering evidence before the

Court below.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

23. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

24. Admittedly, originally, Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy made a complaint before

the Police and subsequently, the respondent herein made a complaint before the

Metropolitan Magistrate for the above said offences under the IPC. Even though

the learned Magistrate took cognizance of the offences under Sections 109, 448,

427 and 506 (Part-2) IPC, pending the case before the trial Court, the revision

petitioner/A1 has approached this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. by filing

Crl.O.P.No.1328 of 2017 to quash the entire proceedings against the revision

petitioner herein, and this Crl.O.P. was dismissed by this Court on 29.01.2019,

against which, the revision petitioner approached the Supreme Court by filing

Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (Crl.).Nos.8227 - 8230 of 2019 and the

Supreme Court, by order dated 05.01.2024 dismissed the petition.

25. The main contention of the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the

revision petitioner is that the respondent/complainant filed the complaint only as

a Power of Attorney and when once the principal (in this case, the said

Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy) dies, the Power of Attorney is not valid and not

enforceable, and therefore, the continuance of the complaint itself is not

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

maintainable.

26. It is also contended by the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the

revision petitioner that even in the complaint preferred by the respondent herein,

in the list of witnesses, the original complainant was shown as one of the

witnesses and in the list of documents, the original complaint made by

Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy on 22.02.2015 is shown and also in the report submitted

by the Inspector of Police, the above original complaint is also shown. Only

based on the complaint given by Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy, the proceedings

continued and since he died, the respondent/complainant is not entitled to

prosecute the complaint.

27. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioner/A1

further stated that even though either the respondent herein or

Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy was not the eye-witness to the alleged occurrence and

even in the original complaint, it is not stated that the revision petitioner/A1 was

present in the scene of occurrence on that day.

28. Further, it is also stated by the learned Senior Counsel that after the

death of Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy, the revision petitioner is the owner of the

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 02/04/2025 12:35:02 pm )

property in question. In any angle, the complaint cannot be continued, and

therefore, as per the liberty given by the Supreme Court, the revision petitioner

has preferred the present petition for discharge, and however, the learned

Magistrate has failed to consider the same and it was dismissed mainly on the

ground of maintainability itself.

29. On a reading of the materials available on record, it is seen that the

learned Magistrate has not stated anything about the merits of the petition for

discharge or the complaint and the learned Magistrate has not stated in the

impugned order, as to whether the prima-facie case is made out as against the

revision petitioner/A1. The learned Magistrate has merely stated that there is no

specific provision to discharge the revision petitioner in the summons case, and

the learned Magistrate held that the petition for discharge is not maintainable.

30. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioner/A1

placed reliance on the order passed in Crl.O.P.No.1328/2017. The Honourable

Madras High Court in its order dated 29th January 2019, held as follows, and the

relevant paragraph of the order is extracted hereunder:

"22. ... ... Further, as per Section 251 Cr.P.C., after taking cognizance, the accused persons have only been asked to

appear before the Magistrate to put forth their defence. As per Section 251 Cr.P.C., when in a summons case, the accused appears or is brought before the Magistrate, the particulars of the offence of which he is accused will be stated to him, and he will be asked whether he pleads guilty or has any defence to make.

When an accused in response to the summons appears before the Magistrate, it is open to him to plead before the Magistrate that the process against him ought not to have been issued and can also raise a plea of maintainability of the complaint. The Magistrate is competent to decide the said plea before he takes any other steps. The Magistrate may drop the proceedings, if he is satisfied on re- consideration of the complaint that there is no evidence, for which, the accused could be tried. It is his judicial discretion. The order issuing the process is an interim order and not a judgment. It could be varied and re-called. Therefore, it is premature to seek quashment of the complaint."

31. Further, learned counsel for the revision petitioner placed reliance on

the Judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in a case between Bhushan

Kumar and others and State (NCT of Delhi) reported in 2012 (5) SCC

424. The relevant portion of the judgment is extracted hereunder for ready

reference:

"20. It is inherent in Section 251 of the Code that when an accused appears before the trial Court pursuant to summons issued under Section 204 of the Code in a summons trial case, it is the bounden duty of the trial court to carefully go through the allegations made in the charge-sheet or complaint and consider the evidence to come to a conclusion whether or not, commission of any offence is disclosed and if the answer is in the affirmative, the Magistrate shall explain the substance of the accusation to the accused and ask him whether he pleads guilty otherwise, he is bound to discharge the accused as per Section 239 of the Code."

32. Therefore, even though there is no specific provision of law to

discharge an accused and there are no prima-facie materials, the learned

Magistrate can drop the proceedings, as it is the discretion to be exercised by the

trial Court on the facts of the case.

33. Though there is no provision to frame the charges, it does not mean

that an accused cannot be discharged from the case. Even otherwise,

technically, when there are no prima-facie materials, it is always open for the

trial Court to drop the proceedings against an accused based upon the facts. The

Magistrate has not decided the petition on the merits of the case, and in the case

on hand, the learned Metropolitan Magistrate had simply dismissed the discharge

petition on the technical ground as not maintainable.

34. However, the learned Magistrate has to decide the petition on the

merits of the matter also, apart from maintainability and hence, the impugned

order passed by the Magistrate is set aside and the matter is remitted back to

the XXIII Metropolitan Magistrate, Saidapet, Chennai, for fresh consideration of

the facts on the issue and the grounds raised by the revision petitioner/A1 for

discharge.

35. When the case is taken cognizance of by filing of the complaint by

the respondent herein, the said Dr.M.A.M.Ramaswamy was alive and

subsequently, he died, and therefore, the trial Court/Magistrate is directed to

take note of the same and decide the petition afresh on merits and in

accordance with law.

36. With the above observations and directions, this revision petition filed

by A1, stands disposed of. The miscellaneous petition is closed.
