"Why this mental block? If economically backward students are given the opportunity, why are you preventing that," Supreme Court asked.

56 former judges, including retired Supreme Court justices, have issued a joint statement condemning the impeachment motion against Madras High Court Judge Justice G.R....

DMK leader T.R. Baalu cast aspersions on Justice G.R. Swaminathan, who allowed the lighting of the lamp atop the Thiruparankundram hill, by alleging that he favoured a particular ideology.

Despite a clear High Court order, officials blocked access to the Deepathoon pillar, stopped the petitioner escorted by CISF and triggered clashes with devotees, prompting strong criticism from BJP leaders and raising fresh concerns over state interference in Hindu rituals.

The Supreme Court will hear the DMK's plea on November 11. The party is challenging the Election Commission's "Special Intensive Revision" of voter lists in Tamil Nadu, calling the exercise "unconstitutional" and a "threat to democratic rights."

The constables, identified as Sunder and Suresh Raj, posted to the District East Police Station in Tiruvannamalai.
