Justice P. N. Prakash of the Madras High Court was hearing this case earlier. But later, he had referred the case to the Larger Bench to decide whether the Judgement in Ganapathy Case relying on Satya Pal Singh V. State of Madhya Pradesh and others (2015) was correct or not? In the Satya Pal case, the Supreme Court had found that the term 'victim' also includes 'a complainant'. Therefore, it was held that a complainant can also invoke the proviso to Section 372 of CrPC and file an appeal against an order of acquittal.

When answering the question, the Larger Bench ruled that the S Ganapathy judgment had been passed without considering an earlier three-Judge Bench ruling of the Supreme Court in Damodar S. Prabhu v. Sayed Babalal H (2010). In the Damodar case it was held by the Supreme Court that in the case of acquittal by the judicial magistrate first class, the complainant could appeal to the High Court under Section 378(4) of the CrPC, and thereafter for special leave to appeal to the Supreme Court under Article 136.

Sundresh was elevated to the Madras High Court from the Bar, on 31 March 2009. Later, on 29 March 2011, his appointment was made permanent.
