Assault Case: Madras HC Takes Suo Motu Cognisance

One individual has been arrested in connection with the case.

A division bench comprising Justices SM Subramaniam and V Lakshminarayanan took up the matter based on a submission by advocate R Varalakshmi. The bench deferred issuing immediate orders, emphasizing the need for the case to be listed by the Chief Justice.

What Court Says? During the proceedings, the court criticized the police for revealing the victim's identity, a lapse that prompted the adjournment of the matter to the following day at 10:30 AM.
