Demanding to uphold the principles of social justice and inclusivity in appointment of judges to Madras High Court, senior advocates headed by former Madras High Court Judge Justice D. Hariparanthaman raised slogans and started a signature campaign on district court premises here on Saturday.
They term the study on “illegal immigrants” to Mumbai a “calculated act of political interference”.
Over 500 academics, researchers, and public intellectuals have issued a sharp rebuke of a migration study by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), condemning it as “a deliberate attempt to polarise the electorate, vilify marginalised communities, and incite violence against migrants in Mumbai”. The statement, released on November 19, 2024, targets the study “Illegal Immigrants to Mumbai: Analysing Socio-economic and Political Consequences”.
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has ordered a re-postmortem be conducted on the body of a Pudukkottai fisherman who died after falling into the sea when his boat collided with a Sri Lankan naval vessel. The postmortem will be conducted on November 18.
