CHENNAI: The Madras high court on Friday took suo motu cognisance of the case in which a 19-year-old student was sexually assaulted inside the Anna University campus in Chennai earlier this week.
A division bench of justices SM Subramaniam and V Lakshminarayanan questioned how the FIR in the case was leaked. The court was hearing a batch of petitions seeking directions related to the investigation of the case. One of the petitioners is advocate Jayaprakash, who is also a member of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
The bench had directed the home secretary, the director general of police (DGP) and the Anna University to respond to the petition by 2.15pm. However, after the bench reconvened, they did not pass any orders awaiting procedural orders from the chief justice. The court questioned Chennai police over the leak of the FIR which revealed the survivor's identity.
