This Suo Motu Case is dealt with in an extraordinary manner by the Dedicated Bench, pursuant to Suo Motu W.P.(Crl.) No.618 of 2025.

The accused are tried for the offences under Sections 498-A, 494, 406 and 506(i) r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act. Parties have resolved the conflict and are living together. Following the dictum of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in B.S. Joshi Vs. State of Haryana [(2003) 4 SCC 675], this is a fit case for exercise of the jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In view of the extraordinary mode in which this dedicated bench conducts hybrid hearings, the filing of written affidavits/terms of compromise is dispensed with.
