Breaking: Karur Stampede: Supreme Court orders CBI Investigation LIVE UPDATES

Order: above is a matter of concern and requires to be explained by the High Court on how formation of the SoP for the political parties would fall within criminal jurisdiction. We seek an explanation from the Registrar General and ask the order to be brought to the notice of the CJ of the HC.

This is the reason we want fair investigation.

Order: learned single judge did not have any occasion to entertain and take cognisance during pendency of the Maduria bench and ignoring Chief Minister which constituted an one man single commission...the single judge while dealing with the matter, suo moto referred to SIT without referring to any materials. Such recourse ignores propriety.

Read the observations: the learned single judge made some observations about karur stampede in which TVK was not made a party and as a result, the court suo moto cognisance and directed constitution of SIT- judgment completely silent on how the single judge arrived at conclusion....in above two writ petition entertained prayers and extended scope which was not before it. Karur falls within the jurisdiction of Madurai bench and such being the case, there was no reason for single judge should have entertained.

J Maheshwari: let us understand, if that is the situation, we will take cognisance. We have seriously observed the functioning of the high court.

Advocates mention that various petitions as alleged to have been filed by the victims have not been filed by them.

3. We have asked the reports from Registrar General of the Madras High Court how the case before the Principal Judge bench, which constituted SIT, was registered as a criminal writ petition.

Order: We have referred the judgment of state of WB on protecting democratic rights and looking at situation which has raised concerns over fundamental rights
