CHENNAI: No appeal can be filed in the Madras High Court against the RSS march. The Madras High Court has said that an appeal can be filed in the Supreme Court.
A case was filed in the High Court seeking an order to the police to grant permission for the RSS march at 50 places across Tamil Nadu on October 2. High Court Judge Ilandraiyan, who heard the case, had ordered the police to grant permission by September 28, imposing various conditions.
VC President Thirumavalavan filed a petition seeking withdrawal of this order. An appeal was filed before Justice Ilandraiyan seeking to hear this petition as an urgent case. The judge questioned, ‘How can this plea be heard in a case where the order has already been passed, when there is no defendant?’
He refused to investigate as an urgent case. He advised that the petition can be investigated after completion of the process of allotment of number and if necessary, an appeal can be filed against the sanction order.
In this case, the 2-judge bench headed by the Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, which heard the case filed by Thirumavalavan against the march, said that an appeal case cannot be filed in the Madras High Court against the RSS march.
Thirumavalavan’s appeal is not meritorious. Since it is a criminal case, they issued an order that only the Supreme Court can appeal.
