Case Summary: Crl.M.P.No.129 of 2026 Lakshmanan, the complainant in a fraud case involving accused Karthik and Adaikappan (who operated LK Skill Institute), sought interim custody of Rs. 4,31,000 allegedly paid to the accused. The court dismissed the petition, finding that Lakshmanan's own original complaint stated he paid only Rs. 3,80,000, contradicting his current claim of Rs. 4,31,000. Additionally, with 28 identified victims in the case and Rs. 50,71,000 defrauded overall, the court held that Lakshmanan failed to demonstrate exclusive entitlement to the seized amount without satisfactory proof during an ongoing investigation.
