Justice G R Swaminathan of the Madurai Bench expressed anguish over repeatedly summoning officials for contempt. He said citing law and order to defy court orders is unacceptable and reflects a serious breakdown of the legal framework system.
Justice GR Swaminathan questioned Senior Advocate Vikas Singh over reported remarks suggesting the judge had political ambitions during the Thiruparankundram lamp-lighting contempt hearing. The Madras High Court also sought an explanation from the State Chief Secretary over alleged non-compliance with court orders.
