ORDER
Today, when the matter was called, Ms.J.Swathy reports that the petitioner had paid the sum of Rs.4,22,000/- by way of two instalments on 30.10.2026 and on 10.11.2026.
2. By the impugned order, the learned Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai had directed the petitioner to pay the aforesaid sum, so as to enable the summoning of 43 witnesses. Ms.J.Swathy has filed this petition feeling aggrieved over the amount. Even when the matter came up for admission on 16.10.2026, this Court pointed out that as the petitioner had committed an error of not cross examining the 43 witnesses, the prosecution cannot bear the cost of summoning the witnesses once again. It was only thereafter that the amount has been paid.
3. Now that the amount has been paid, the dismissal of the petition for non-payment of the same before 01.10.2026 is set aside. The learned Judge shall issue summons to the witnesses and proceed further with trial in the case, which is posted on 26.11.2026.
4. The matter which is pending before the learned Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai, is atleast 20 years in age. The learned Trial Judge shall ensure that the matter proceeds with all expedition that it deserves and atleast two effective hearings per week must be granted to the proceedings.
5. In the result, this Criminal Original Petition stands disposed of. 11-11-2026 krk Index:Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Internet:Yes Neutral Citation:Yes/No To
