Justice PN Prakash disposed the petitions based on his order issued on September 27 that those seeking relief under section 482 of CrPC should approach the High Court only after approaching the police station, the SP and Jurisdictional Magistrate concerned.
Based on this, Justice Prakash disposed the plea with the liberty to the petitioners to follow the procedure laid down in the order and file a fresh petition if necessary.
