(Order of the Court was made by S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, J.) The writ of mandamus has been instituted to direct the 1st respondent/Registrar General to initiate appropriate action based on the petitioner's complaint dated 04.06.2024.
The petitioner has raised certain serious allegations of corrupt activities against the Judicial Officer.

Mr.R.Sankarasubbu, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner would submit that the manner in which the Judgment was delivered itself is doubtful.
4.
However, we are not inclined to go into said allegations, since a Judge is empowered to act beyond the court hours. Therefore, the pronouncement of Judgment even if made beyond the court hours, the same Page No.2 of 4
