Madras High Court

Udhayanidhi Stalin’s jeans & tees dress code reaches HC

A youth icon for the ruling DMK, Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, a public servant, has drawn the attention of the High Court for sporting jeans and T-shirts featuring the party’s election symbol of the ‘rising sun’ at official events.

The Bench’s remarks

All constitutional institutions are amenable to the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court in its writ jurisdiction unless expressly barred or restricted by the Constitution itself. A Constitutional Writ Court has both jurisdiction and power to pass any judicial order against or in respect of any constitutional institution and particularly so in a public interest litigation.

HC takes suo motu cognizance of ‘sexual harassment’

The FIR also mentions Chengalpattu supereintendent of police D Kannan who stopped the IPS officer on her way to Chennai, allegedly on the orders of Das. The CB-CID registered the case a day after Tamil Nadu DGP JK Tripathy issued an order directing the department to investigate the matter.
