HC dismisses contempt plea filed against lyricist Vairamuthu

Chennai

A division bench comprising justices R Sudhakar and P N Prakash dismissed the petition filed by Mukanchand Bothra as not maintainable.

Bothra submitted that Vairamuthu in his speech at a function here on September 12 last year had "raised doubts about the faith, integrity and purity of judges among the public, especially about judges who are on the verge of retirement", and sought to initiate suo motu contempt proceedings against the lyricist.
