The Madras High Court bench here on Monday adjourned the case filed by M. Manohar, former Superintendent of Police (SP) of Madurai, challenging an order passed by Madurai Principal District and Sessions Court.
The lower court had refused to discharge Mr Manohar from a criminal case registered against him in 2009 on charges of assaulting AIADMK MLA R. Samy during the campaign for parliamentary elections in December 2008.
The MLA had lodged a private compliant with the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) here accusing Mr Manohar of having violated human rights.
Mr Manohar had filed a petition at the lower court to discharge him from the case registered by the MLA. After the lower court dismissed the petition, he moved the High Court.
Mr Samy’s counsel opposed Mr Manohar’s case and pleaded for its dismissal. On Monday Mr Samy was present at the court when the case was heard by Justice A. Arumughasamy.
