The petitioner has filed a petition under Section 226(2) of BNSS before the trial Court, seeking to summon his employer, the Chief Personnel Manager of the Human Resources Department of the Integral Coach Factory, Perambur to produce the Attendance Register on 05.01.2005.

3. The learned Magistrate, by the impugned order, after considering the entire materials on record, rejected the request made by the petitioner on the ground that the alleged incident took place in the year 2005 and the cognizance in this case was taken in the year 2005 and the matter was posted for arguments of both sides and the trial was almost concluded and only to delay the proceedings of the trial with mala fide intention, the present petition has been moved on behalf of the petitioner, seeking to summoning his employer, the Chief Personnel Manager of the Human Resources Department of the Integral Coach Factory, Perambur to produce the Attendance Register on 05.01.2005.. In the order, a reference of the order, dated 29.08.2025 passed by this Court in Crl.O.P.No.23783 of 2025 has also been made, wherein, this Court was pleased to pass the following order: “This Criminal Original Petition has been filed to direct the learned Additional Court for exclusive Trial of CCB Cases, __________ Page2 of 6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL RC No. 1247 of 2026 Egmore, Chennai to dispose the case in CC.No.20760/2005 expeditiously within the time frame fixed by this Court.

2. The petitioner is facing trial before the Additional Court for Exclusive trial of CCB cases in C.C.No.20760 of 2005 for the alleged offences under sections 420 read with 34 of IPC. He is arrayed as the second accused in this case. The grievance of the petitioner is that out of 53 prosecution witnesses, only10 witnesses have been examined and the cases is pending for the past 20 years. Hence, seeks a direction to the concerned judge to dispose of the case expeditiously. 3. Considering the fact that the case in C.C.No.20760 of 2005 is pending for the past 20 years, the learned XVI Additional Judge [for exclusive trial of CCB Cases] is directed to expedite the trial in C.C.No.20760 of 2025 and dispose of the case expeditiously. 4. With the above direction, this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of.” 4.Thus, the trial Court, in compliance of the order passed by this Court to expedite the trial in C.C.No.20760 of 2005, has not allowed the petition filed by the petitioner. 5.I have also considered the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) for the respondent and perused the entire materials on record. __________ Page3 of 6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL RC No. 1247 of 2026

6.On a perusal of the impugned order dated 06.06.2026 passed by the learned Magistrate, this Court finds no infirmity warranting interference since the reasons assigned by the trial Court for rejecting the petition filed by the petitioner, are cogent and justifiable, It is not in dispute that the trial is of the year 2005 and the same has not been completed despite the specific direction issued by this Court vide order dated 29.08.2025 passed in Crl.O.P.No.23783 of 2025 for expeditious disposal. The matter now stands posted for final arguments on both sides and at this advanced stage of the proceedings, the present petition filed by the petitioner clearly shows the intention of the accused is only to drag on the proceedings and nothing else and such type of dilatory tactics cannot be permitted by the Courts in the interest of administration of justice. In fact, when there is a specific direction of this Court vide order dated 29.08.2025 to expedite the trial of the matter which has been pending for the past 20 years, the learned Magistrate was justified in dismissing the petition seeking production of the attendance register, which in the opinion of this Court, is irrelevant at the present stage of the trial.

7.Thus, I do not find any illegality or perversity in the impugned order. The impugned order passed by the learned Magistrate is well reasoned and speaking order. Therefore, there is no scope to interfere with the impugned order and accordingly, no interference is called for and the petition is liable to be dismissed as devoid of merit. __________ Page4 of 6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL RC No. 1247 of 2026 8.Accordingly, this Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. The trial Court is directed to comply with the direction issued by this Court in Crl.O.P.No.23783 of 2025, dated 29.08.2025 and complete the trial as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, without any further delay.
