Arivuselvi vs Sathuramesh — 2563/2025

Case Summary: Arivuselvi v. Sathu Ramesh (2563/2025) The Judicial Magistrate dismissed the petitioner's application under Section 319 CrPC seeking to summon a second accused. The petitioner alleged that an Inspector of Police fraudulently obtained her signature on a fabricated document portraying her father as mentally unstable, and sought to add another officer as an accused based solely on a suggestion made during witness cross-examination. The court held that mere cross-examination suggestions, without independent corroborating evidence, handwriting expert opinion, or documentary proof of involvement, fall short of the "strong and cogent evidence" threshold required under Section 319 CrPC. The petition was dismissed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
