ORDER

The petitioner, challenging the impugned summon dated 20.02.2026 had filed this quash petition.

2.The contention of the learned counsel for petitioner is that the summon dated 20.02.2026 served to the petitioner without any basis. The petitioner is a mason doing construction work at Ariyalur District and his entire family livelihood is based on the income earned by the petitioner. If the petitioner is forced to appear before the respondents, he will be losing his daily income and his family would be denied of his income.

3.The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) submitted that the petitioner is a History Sheeter with H.S.No.114 of 2008. There are two cases against the petitioner, one case is pending for offence under Section 302 of I.P.C. Due to the impending general election, the petitioner was served with summons to execute a bond.

4.The learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions, submitted that the petitioner will appear before the first respondent on 20.04.2026.

5.It is seen that the impugned summons issued directing the petitioner to appear on 27.02.2026. The day has passed by. Hence, the petitioner is directed to appear before the first respondent on 20.04.2026 and execute the bond. 6.With the above directions, the Criminal Original Petition is disposed of. Consequently, the connected Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is closed. 16-04-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order RSI To
