Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The petitioner seeks for compensation in the case where the petitioner contends that he was handcuffed and paraded on the road. It is admitted that criminal case, which is lodged against him, is still pending and I am of the view that if any notice is issued now, it will be used in the criminal case for the benefit of the petitioner even before the trial is in progress. The petitioner's claim could be appropriately lodged after the outcome of the criminal case. Without any bar of limitation provided, the cause of action is taken from the date when the criminal court judgment is finally delivered. 2. The writ petition is disposed of with the above observations. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE October 17, 2011 Pankaj*
