Justice TV Thamilselvi passed the orders on the plea by Kolathur Mani challenging the police action initiated in 2019. Since Kolathur Mani and five other activists staged a protest against the police firing incident in Chennai, Triiplicane police registered a case against Mani and others in 2019.

While the charge sheet has been filed before the special court trying cases against MPs and MLAs, Mani and others challenged the same before the High Court.
