Inspector of police vs Gurumoorthy and others — 212/2026

The Judicial Magistrate Court at Mettur allowed the police petition to draw representative samples and destroy seized banned tobacco products (5,500 bundles total) following High Court directives on proper disposal procedures. The court imposed strict conditions including sampling with independent witnesses, detailed photographic and videographic documentation, panchanama preparation, and submission of a destruction memo within 15 days, while dispensing with notice to the accused due to the perishable and banned nature of the products.
