The Madras High Court heard a petition filed by S. Soundari seeking a direction to the police to register an FIR, investigate, and file a report based on her complaint of abuse by her husband B. Suresh. The Court ordered B. Suresh to be impleaded as the second respondent. Considering this is a matrimonial issue, the Court directed the police to summon both parties to inquire into the matter and try to arrive at an amicable solution, while also dealing with it according to law. The petition was then disposed of on these terms.
