The petitioner, A. Chidambaram, filed a Criminal Revision Case before the Madras High Court challenging an order dated 27.11.2025 by the Judicial Magistrate-II, Chengalpattu, which dismissed his petition seeking direction to register an FIR against Respondents 3 and 4 (John Abraham Nelson and his sister Shyana). The petitioner alleged that he had lawfully purchased certain properties in 2005 with revenue records mutated in his name, but the respondents had fraudulently created a Settlement Deed and Release Deed in 2014 over the same properties using forged documents. The Magistrate had dismissed the petition on the ground that the dispute was purely civil in nature, but the petitioner contended that the allegations disclosed cognizable offences including forgery, fabrication, cheating, and criminal conspiracy under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the IPC. The respondents countered that no prima facie ingredients of forgery were made out, that their title originated from a 1949 sale deed, and that the complaint was filed after an unexplained delay of nearly 19 years. The High Court heard arguments from all parties, and the matter was reserved for judgment; the provided text does not contain the final operative order of the High Court.
