Vinotha Uthayakumar vs S Gunasundari — 277/2025

Case Summary: Vinotha Uthayakumar v. S Gunasundhari (Crl.M.P. 277/2025) The Fast Track Court at Karaikudi partly allowed the accused's petition under Section 315 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The court permitted Vinotha (accused in a Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act case involving a dishonored cheque of Rs. 4,68,000) to examine herself as a witness, but rejected her request to examine the complainant's bank officials. The court found the petitioner failed to establish valid reasons or relevance for calling bank officials and dismissed this prayer, holding that mere complainant consent cannot substitute for demonstrated necessity.
