ORDER

The revision challenges the docket order passed by the learned Additional District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Ambur, Tirupathur District, by which a distress warrant has been issued against the petitioner. 2. The respondent herein had filed an application in Crl.M.P.No.581 of

2025 in M.C.No.8 of 2015 seeking enforcement of the order passed by this Court in Crl.O.P.No.29092 of 2019 dated 02.09.2022. It appears that when the case was called on 07.08.2025, the petitioner was called absent and hence, the impugned order came to be passed.
