Justices G.R. Swaminathan and V. Lakshminarayanan of #MadrasHighCourt dismiss a PIL petition to ban actor Suriya’s #Karuppu Petitioner R.S. Tamilvendan had complained that it shows the judiciary and legal profession in a bad light but the judges said, the movie only exaggerates the existence of some black sheep in the legal profession and the judiciary. They say moviemakers have a right to free speech. (In a lighter vein, Justice Swaminathan said, he watched the movie at Sathyam theatre day before yesterday but didn’t like it all. It was a damp squib, he said.) @THChennai
