[29/05, 12:41] sekarreporter1: AG also says that the progress in the case is being monitored at the highest level.
[29/05, 12:41] sekarreporter1: When the petitioner's counsel counsel refers to several theories being floated on the social media regarding the Sulur crime, Justice Lakshminarayanan says, police would only be concentrating on the investigation of the crime and not on what's happening on Facebook or Instagram.
[29/05, 12:42] sekarreporter1: AG says, police is taking the best action possible. Justice Swaminathan says, one of his friends called him up and said, nothing had progressed against the sexual allegations against one Godman Sivasankar Baba. He says, police must speed up all sexual crimes against women and children. AG says, this government is keen on prosecuting such cases expeditiously.

They make it clear that they prima facie do not find any fault with the investigation conducted by the police so far. CASE DISPOSED OF. DETAILED ORDER WILL FOLLOW
