The Madras High Court on Monday ordered notice to the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) on a writ appeal preferred by Murasoli Trust against the dismissal of its writ petition to forbear the commission from inquiring into a complaint of alleged possession of Panchami land.
Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy entertained the appeal after being prima facie convinced with the submissions of Senior Counsel P. Wilson that the NCSC had no authority, under its rules of procedure, to inquire into a complaint related to the title of a property.
When Additional Solicitor General AR.L. Sundaresan representing the NCSC and senior counsel S. Ravi, representing the complainant R. Srinivasan of BJP, said, they were confident of convincing the court otherwise, the judges asked them to submit all authorities to be relied upon by them by March 11.
