[10/1, 08:56] Sekarreporter1: On Friday the Hon’ble madras High court heard the batch of Contempt petitions filed by the RSS against the home secretary for rejection of their representations inspite of the positive court direction. On 22nd September the Hon’ble High Court of Madras granted RSS the permission to conduct a procession and public meeting on 2nd October and directed the State to permit the same, however the approval for the route march was rejected by the State by citing certain reasons of internal security. The Single bench of Hon’ble Justice GK Ilanthraiyan heard the contempt petitions filed by RSS secretaries. The contempt petitioners were represented by Senior Counsel Mr S Prabakaran,Mr G Rajagopalan and Mr N l Rajah and the State were represented by Senior Counsel Mr NR Elango and State PP Jinnah. The learner Senior Counsel Mr S Prabakaran vehemently contended that in spite of the positive direction given by this Hon’ble Court the orders have been overlooked by the State. It was submitted by the learner Senior Counsel that in the batch of writ petitions the court has given the positive direction to permit the rally, inspite of that deliberately and wantonly and malafidely the authorities disobeyed the orders of the court. The police authorities has willfully and wantonly disobeyed the orders of the Hon’ble court and the orders of this Hon’ble Court were let loose in the air.Learned Senior Counsel Mr S Prabakaran further contended that as per the Constitution the judiciary is an independent body and judges are constitutional functionaries, it is their right and liberty to safeguard the constitutional rights, however by not following the order of the court the authorities have made mockery of the judiciary and it’s system as no one should undermine the orders of this court. They should not get the guts to do it. The learned senior counsel further vehemently contended that the constitutional right granted cannot be overlooked by an executive order and the court order cannot be overlooked by way of the executive ban , the court order must be obeyed in letter and good spirit.
Learned senior counsel further contended that even assuming there is law and order problem it is beyond the imagination that it happens in all the districts at once and the ban on PFI is irrelevant to the present matter. It was further contended by learned Senior Counsel that there is no requirement to challenge the denial because already in one district the denial order was challenged before this Hon’ble court and the denial has been set aside and permission has been given by the common order however the same has also been rejected. To buttress his submissions the learner Senior Counsel Mr S Prabakaran relied upon several judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme court. On similar lines learned senior counsel Mr Rajah and Rajagopalan made submissions to the court. Learned senior counsel Mr NR Elango appearing on behalf of the State submitted that there is a serious threat of law and order issue and communal violence in the event of the route march. It was further submitted by the learned senior counsel that IB has given reports apprehending internal disturbances and communal violence and hence for safety of the people the same was rejected. The RSS in view of the IB reports submitted the alternate dates for the route march and the Hon’ble Court taking note of the same adjourned the matters to October. The Hon’ble High Court observed that the issue is being closely monitored and directed the State to grant permission to the rally on 6th of November.
