Order
The petitioner had filed Crl.O.P.No.6057 of 2026 seeking a direction to the respondent police to file a final report in Crime No.477 of 2025. This Court, by an order dated 09.03.2026, had given a direction to complete the investigation and file the final report in Crime No.477 of 2025 within a period of two months. Thereafter, no final report filed. Hence, the petitioner caused pre-contempt notice on 26.05.2026. This notice returned with an endorsement ‘Refused’. Thereafter, the petitioner caused a second notice on 02.06.2026. This notice was not received and refused by the Inspector of Police (Law and Order), K-11, CMBT Police Station, Koyambedu, Chennai on 03.06.2026. Hence, the petitioner filed this contempt petition.
