Madras High Court:\u00a0<\/strong>N. Anand Venkatesh, J. dismissed a petition filed by Prisoners Right Forum against the order of the Chief Judicial Magistrate whereby he had dismissed a complaint filed in the matter of the death of a prisoner in judicial custody. It was held that the forum, being a third party who was neither a victim not an aggrieved person, had no locus standi to file the present petition.<\/p>\n

The deceased, a prisoner, died in judicial custody in April, 2014. An FIR was registered, enquiry conducted, and criminal proceedings initiated against the respondent officials. However, ultimately, the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate came to the conclusion that no offence was established against the accused persons, and therefore he dismissed the complaint. The said order was challenged by the Forum in the present petition under Section 482 CrPC.<\/p>\n

The High Court was of the opinion that the preliminary issue to be decided was as to the locus standi of the petitioner Forum to file the petition. M. Radhakrishnan, Advocate led arguments on behalf of the Forum. Per contra, the respondents were represented by C. Emilias, Additional General, assisted by M. Mohamed Tiyaz, APP; and Senior Advocate N.R. Elango; and A. Gokulakrishnan, Advocate; all of whom opposed the petition.<\/p>\n

The Court noted that the term\u00a0locus standi\u00a0<\/strong>is commonly understood as\u00a0the right or the capacity to bring an action or to appear in a Court. The march of law, more particularly by way of public interest litigations, has now allowed anyone from the society, not related to the cause of action to approach the Court seeking justice for those who cannot or who could not approach themselves or in cases which involves the public interest at large.\u00a0<\/em>However, it was held that such right cannot be extended in a criminal case to a third party who is not in any way related to the case. It was observed:\u00a0“If this practice is permitted in a casual manner, a meddlesome bystander can easily decide to attack a person who has been held to be not guilty by a Subordinate Court, by initiating a frivolous proceeding and thereby cause irretrievable injury to the life and liberty of the accused person.” <\/strong>The only exception that has been created in this regard is by the Supreme Court which has held that third parties will have right, in very exceptional cases, to approach the Supreme Court under Article 136 of the Constitution of India. Reference was made to\u00a0Amanullah v. State of Bihar,\u00a0<\/em>(2016) 6 SCC 699<\/a>; National Commission for Women v. State (NCT of Delhi), <\/em>(2010) 12 SCC 599<\/a>; Harsh Mandar v. Amit Anilchandra Shah,\u00a0<\/em>(2017) 13 SCC 420<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Holding that the petitioner had no locus standi to maintain the present petition, the Court dismissed the same.[Prisoners Right Forum v. State of T.N., 2019 SCC OnLine Mad 2476<\/b><\/a>, decided on 22-07-2019]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
