counsel is now raising objections, saying he wants appointment of an amicus curiae or a district judge to personally go and inspect the resort and file a report.
counsel is now raising objections, saying he wants appointment of an amicus curiae or a district judge to personally go and inspect the resort and file a report.
The public prosecutor wanted to know from whom he has to get instructions on the matter.
The bench said, "The government is there, the government is functioning. Then how can you say from whom you have to get instructions?"
On February 10, a division bench had sought the state government's response to allegations that AIADMK MLAs were being illegally detained at the resort and 20 of them were on a fast.
Yesterday, while addressing the MLAs at the resort, which she visited for the second time in two days, Sasikala had said, "You 129 MLAs are like an ocean. None can contain it by building a check dam. No efforts will destabilise this government. None can hurt us and there is no need to fear." Dismissing allegations that they have been held "hostage" at the resort, Sasikala, who is locked in a power tussle with Chief Minister Panneerselvam, had said the MLAs were staying on their own accord and that they were "free".
On the other hand, Panneerselvam had said the legislators should be released from the resort and allowed to meet the people in their respective constituencies.
Meanwhile, an HCP seeking to trace Srivilliputhur MLA Chandra Prabha was filed in the Madurai Bench of the high court today.
Petitioner T Aanazhagan, son of former local MLA late R Tamaraikani, alleged that Prabha was under illegal detention by Sasikala and he was unable to contact her.
He submitted that he had already lodged a complaint with the Srivilliputhur police in this regard.
The petition is likely to come up for hearing on February 15.
