CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Wednesday permitted an advocate to move a lunch motion seeking to restrain the reported release of a Tamil book that allegedly portrays Justice G. R. Swaminathan as a sympathiser of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in connection with his verdict in the Thirupparankundram Karthigai Deepam case.
The First Division Bench, comprising Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice G. Arul Murugan, accepted a request made by advocate B. Jagannath for urgent consideration of the issue.
The lawyer submitted that the book was scheduled to be released in Chennai on Thursday, prompting immediate judicial intervention.
