The petitioner had lodged a complaint to the respondent police seeking to conduct an enquiry and to register a case based on his complaint. But, no action
CONT P No. 3266 of 2026
has been taken. Thereafter he filed a private complaint under Section 156(3) of Cr.P.C. before the learned District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Pallavaram, who had given a direction to register an F.I.R. and to investigate the matter. Thereafter too, no action has been taken, and after persuasion and follow-up, finally F.I.R. in Crime No.592 of 2025 registered. The respondent herein failed to take any appropriate action and took his own time for registering the F.I.R. and conducting the investigation. Hence, the petitioner filed a petition before this Court in Crl.O.P.No.8620 of 2026 seeking transfer of the investigation. The indifference shown by the respondent is recorded in the order dated 16.06.2026. Thereafter, this Court directed the respondent to submit the entire case diary to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central Crime Branch, Tambaram, who shall nominate an Inspector from Central Crime Branch team to effectively conduct and conclude the investigation within a stipulated period.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though the order was passed on 16.06.2026, thereafter no action has been taken. Hence, the petitioner sent pre-contempt notice to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central Crime Branch, Tambaram on 08.07.2026, followed by another notice on 28.07.2026 to the respondent/Inspector of Police, T-4, Shankar Nagar Police Station, Shankar Nagar, Pammal, Tambaram City. Thereafter too, no action has been taken. Hence the above contempt petition.
CONT P No. 3266 of 2026
3. The learned counsel for Government of Tamil Nadu submitted that the Inspector of Police, Central Crime Branch, Tambaram received the case bundle in RC No.J2/276/031883/2026 on 25.08.2026. On receipt of the same, on 29.08.2026, FIR in Crime No.141 of 2026 registered for offence under Sections 316(4), 318(4) and 351(2) of BNS, 2023 against one Elancheliyan @ Subash, S/o.Muthamil Kumaran.
