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.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the order cannot be sustained in view of the law laid down by this Court in S.T.Prabhakar vs. The Secretary to Government, Home Department, Fort St.George, Chennai – 600 009 and 2 others reported in 2011 (1) CTC 355, and that the learned Magistrate ought to have examined whether there was any sufficient cause shown by the petitioner for non-compliance
