Court had issued directions in 2016 for special cells to be set up in districts
The Madras High Court on Wednesday directed the State government to file a status report on the steps taken to implement directions issued by it in April 2016 for establishing special cells in every district to protect couples in inter-faith or inter-caste marriages and consequently prevent honour killings.
Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy called for the report following a public interest litigation petition filed by Vidya Reddy, managing trustee of Tulir Charitable Trust. The litigant expressed concern over the delay in establishing such cells, with a 24-hour helpline, as directed by the court.
