Two accused persons (Accused Nos. 4 and 5) filed petitions under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court, seeking to quash a charge sheet filed against them in PRC No. 13 of 2024 before the Judicial Magistrate No. II, Ramanathapuram, wherein they were charged with criminal conspiracy, abetment, and attempt to murder under Sections 120B, 109, and 307 of the IPC. The prosecution alleged that the petitioners conspired with others to murder the de facto complainant (a District President of a political party) out of political rivalry, and that the actual assailants (Accused Nos. 1 and 2) were caught red-handed and named the petitioners in their confessions. The petitioners argued that the confessions of co-accused are inadmissible in evidence, no recovery was made from them, call detail records were absent, and that button phones recovered from other accused could not support WhatsApp calls. The court rejected the argument about button phones, taking judicial notice that WhatsApp can function on button phones supporting 4G networks, and held that the absence of call detail records in the charge sheet is not fatal as such documents can be produced subsequently with the court's permission, relying on the Supreme Court's ruling in CBI v. R.S. Pai (2002) 5 SCC 82. The court found sufficient material in the 161 CrPC statements of witnesses and the victim to warrant trial, declining to quash the proceedings at this stage.
