The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Monday quashed the trial court proceedings pending against CPI (M) Central Committee Member U. Vasuki and 25 other party members. In 2016, during the campaign for the State legislative Assembly elections they had staged a road blockade in Jaihindpuram in Madurai alleging police inaction over distribution of cash for votes.
The case of the prosecution was that on May 13, 2016, around 250 CPI (M) party members had staged a protest in Jaihindpuram in Madurai. They had raised slogans against the police at around 8 p.m. in violation of election code and prohibitory order. The petitioners said that they had only raised the slogans and there was no violence. They said that the continuance of the case against them was harassment and sought the quash of the proceedings.
