The Court Registrar has informed that the important cases pending will be taken up for enquiry from 20th April.
Lockdown was imposed as a preventive measure against the raging coronavirus pandemic and as such, Chennai High Court, its Madurai Branch, and all other Lower Court activities were halted until 30th April.
Emergency cases are filed in Chennai High Court where the judges give orders after an enquiry in person or through the video-conferencing facility.
Subsequently, 14 district advocates appealed that enquiries must be carried for emergency cases in Madurai branch as well. In this situation, a minor change has been carried out for the Madurai Branch to perform under this control. Based on this change, it has been decided to conduct enquiries on emergency cases in the branch from 20th April until further orders.
It has been announced that the judges listed below will conduct the enquiries:
- The bench of Judges P N Prakash, T; Krishnavalli will enquire about emergency writs, writ higher appeal petitions, and Habeas Corpus cases.
- A single Judge, P N Prakash will enquire emergency criminal cases under Criminal Act 482 and Judge D. Krishnavalli will enquire emergency higher appeal cases.
- Judge Velmurugan will enquire emergency bails, anticipatory bail, and Judge C V Karthikeyan will enquire about all emergency writ cases.
