The Madras High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition by veteran film director Bharathiraja seeking quashing of a case filed against him for his alleged defamatory speeches against Hindu Gods.
Justice G K Ilanthirayan declined to entertain the plea, noting that the charge sheet had already been filed in the case.
Earlier, the additional public prosecutor informed the judge that the charge sheet was filed in the case registered against Bharathiraja in a magistrate court here.
The judge in his brief order said, "As already charge sheet had been filed, the petitioner is not entitled for the relief he sought for. Dismissed."
