The petitioners filed a criminal original petition in the Madras High Court seeking an order directing the police to register an FIR, investigate, and file a final report on their complaint alleging that three individuals (Sathyamurthy, Viswanathan, and Emanuel) were accomplices of Kannan Iyer, who had previously been charged in another case with forging bank customer signatures and defalcating funds. The High Court denied the request, noting that no second FIR can be registered for the same transaction, but that if evidence surfaces during the investigation implicating the three individuals, the police shall make them accused and take action accordingly. The petition was then closed.
