The Madras High Court on Wednesday permitted Communist Party of India’s State secretary R. Mutharasan and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi president Thol. Thirumavalavan to get impleaded in a public interest litigation and oppose the plea for implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in Tamil Nadu.
First Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice J. Sathya Narayana Prasad allowed the impleading petitions filed by the two political leaders after advocate R. Gururaj, representing the PIL petitioner Arjunan Elayaraja, represented that his client had no objection to the plea for impleadment.
The Bench also directed the High Court Registry to list the PIL petition next on July 31 for hearing.
