Justice M Nirmal Kumar before whom the plea moved by both the MPs that the earlier order restraining the police from taking any ‘’coercive steps’’ ended on May 29, extended the same.
The matter relates to the press meet the MPs held on May 13 after meeting the state Chief Secretary with other party members on the prevailing COVID-19 situation in Tamil Nadu, where they alleged that they were treated like those part of the Scheduled Community by the Chief Secretary. Following this, a FIR was filed against them by police under Sections 3(1)(u) and 3(1) (v) of the Scheduled caste Schedule Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.
