The petitioner is the de-facto complainant in the said case. In the affidavit filed by the petitioner in support of this Petition, he has stated that the original case records are missing and the case is unnecessarily adjourned. 3. Since the allegation appears to be very serious, a report was called for from the learned Judicial Magistrate No.VI, Madurai. She in- turn has informed that the original file was misplaced and the same could not be traced out. However, from the available records, the case records have been reconstructed and based on the same, now the trial is in progress. 4. According to the learned counsel, further proper action has been taken as against the Clerk, who is responsible for the same. 5. Recording the report submitted by the learned Judicial Magistrate No.VI, Madurai, I do not find any reason to transfer the case. However, I am hopeful that the action initiated against the Clerk https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 concerned or any other person responsible for the missing of the bundle will be persued further. 6. With the above said observations, this Petition is dismissed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (T&P) /True copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar(CS) To 1. The Judicial Magistrate NO.VI, Madurai 2.
