The case pertains to making derogatory remarks against Scheduled Caste community
The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Tamil Nadu police to respond to an appeal by DMK parliamentarian R.S. Bharathi to quash a criminal case against him for making derogatory remarks against the Scheduled Caste community.
The Madras High Court had refused to quash the case on February 22. A Bench led by Justice L. Nageswara Rao issued notice to the Assistant Commissioner of Police of Crime Branch and the complainant Kalyana Sundaram, an Athi Tamilar Makkal Katchi leader. They have to submit their responses in a fortnight.
In the proceedings conducted through video-conferencing, the Bench sought the responses on the plea within two weeks.

Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad’s farewell dinner, organised last Tuesday in Delhi, was an emotional affair where leaders from all parties reminisced the nostalgic moments they spent with the veteran leader. The environment was filled with anecdotes, jokes and tributes. But one DMK leader must have never thought that his tribute to Ghulam Nabi Azad will land him in trouble.
