CJI asks if action is proper when matter is pending before top court
The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Tamil Nadu government why it was in a “hurry” to arrest former Minister when the top court was already seized of his case.
“Is it proper for your government to arrest him when the matter was pending before the Supreme Court? Would heavens have fallen otherwise?” Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana asked the State government, represented by its Additional Advocate-General V. Krishnamurthy.
Justice Surya Kant, on the Bench, asked the State, “Is it your intention that the Supreme Court should be deprived of a hearing?”
