: Taking a serious view over non compliance of its order on premature release of five life convicts, the Madras High Court on Wednesday issued notice to the Tamil Nadu Home Secretary and two other officials, directing them to either abide by the directive or get orders from the Supreme Court.
A Division Bench, comprising Justices M M Sundresh and R M T Teekaa Raman issued statutory notices to Home Secretary Niranjan Mardi, Additional DGP Abash Kumar and Coimbatore Central Prison Superintendent, R Krishna Raj passing order on a batch of five contempt petitions.
The Bench said it has no other option.
