The New Indian Express|July 02, 2024
THE Madras High Court has initiated a suo motu case regarding the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy, which has claimed the lives of over 60 people, with several others under treatment in different hospitals.
R SIVAKUMAR

A division bench comprising of Justices S M Subramaniam and C Kumarappan on Monday initiated the suo motu case after 'taking into account the shocking revelations' made by Senior Advocate K R Tamilmani in his television interviews on the incident.

Clarifying that it was not addressing the 'political fight' over the issue, the bench noted that its primary concern was the need to 'reform' the people living in and around Kalvarayan Hills and to safeguard their 'constitutional rights.' "Our endeavour is to protect their educational rights, economic status, and other fundamental needs," the bench said.
