Inspector of Police Karumathampatty PS vs Thennarasu — 214/2025

Case Summary: The Judicial Magistrate Court of Sulur dismissed the prosecution's petition to add Bharath as an additional accused under Section 319 CrPC. The court found that Bharath's name was absent from the original complaint, medical records, and investigation report, and that his inclusion was based solely on the complainant's statement during chief examination, which appeared to be an afterthought. Following the Supreme Court precedent in Hardeep Singh v. State of Punjab, the court held that strong and cogent evidence is required to invoke Section 319 CrPC, which was lacking in this case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
