THE Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court recently observed that whenever cases and counter cases are filed by two individuals or groups against one another, the same investigation officer should probe both the cases and find out the real aggressor.
Justice N Anand Venkatesh made the observation while quashing the lower court proceedings in two criminal cases—a case and a counter case registered by Thoothukudi police. According to the order, the petitioner Mathan Kumar had posted some news against the complainant, who is a panchayat president, on social media in May last year, for which a case was registered against him.
