Suresh vs State Government the Superintendent of Police, Tenkasi — 99/2026

Summary The Principal Sessions Judge, Tenkasi dismissed the Criminal Miscellaneous Petition as not maintainable, holding that the petitioner failed to establish "wilful neglect" under Section 4(1) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, which requires clear material indicating intentional or deliberate neglect supported by prior administrative findings. The court found the petition procedurally defective for impleading high-ranking officials without specific allegations, failing to exhaust statutory remedies, and seeking relief beyond the court's jurisdiction; however, it permitted the petitioner to approach the Special Court under Section 200 Cr.P.C. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
