On perusal of the complaint, this Court is of the view that there is no need for any custodial interrogation of the petitioners in this case.

With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 6th April, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13386 of 2010 (Disposed of) 6th April, 2011 CBS
