CHENNAI: The Madras high court on Friday binned a contempt plea filed by a Grade-II constable against Tamil Nadu DGP C Sylendra Babu and imposed ₹2,000 cost for approaching the court without clean hands.
Justice M Dhandapani passed the order while dismissing the plea moved by S Arunachalam who alleged that the DGP had failed to implement a court order passed in 2019 and consider re-fixing his service seniority. When the plea came up for hearing, additional advocate-general J Ravindran and special government pleader Yogesh Kannadasan submitted that the petitioner had approached the court suppressing facts.
