Tamil Nadu’s Advocate General Vijay Narayan tells Justices G.R. Swaminathan and V. Lakshminarayanan of #MadrasHighCourt that the State government has decided to give top priority to safety of women and children and put in place a number of measures aimed at preventing sexual crimes against them. He says the discussions have begun and that it will take two to three weeks to come up with an action plan. The submissions are made during the hearing of a public interest litigation petition filed by a 26-year-old rape survivor seeking a direction to all trial courts in the State to complete the trial in sexual assault cases within two months, after the filing of charge sheets, as required under Section 346(1) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. Petitioner says she was sexually assaulted by two cops in Tiruvannamalai in September 2025 and the charge sheet against them was filed in November 2025 but the trial is yet to commence. She also refers to yet another sexualt assault case where the trial had been delayed. Judges pass an interim direction for disposal of the petitioner’s case before July 30, 2026 and keep the main PIL petition pending for the government to come up with an action plan for speedy disposal of all sexual offence cases. @THChennai
