The Madras High Court has restrained the CB-CID from filing the final investigation report in the Dharmapuri caste violence case till April 20.
A division bench comprising Justices R Banumathi and K Ravichandra Babu granted the injunction on Friday while passing further interim orders on a batch of writ petitions and public interest writ petitions from advocate P Pugalenthi and other aggrieved persons, praying for, among other things, transfer of the investigation into the case to the CBI.
Earlier, special government pleader IS Inbadurai submitted that totally 11 criminal cases were registered against seven caste Hindus and four against persons belonging to Dalit community.
On of the petitioners submitted that many families were left out from payment of compensation by the government.
Since many petitioners had prayed for transfer of the case to the CBI, the bench said that it was restraining the CB-CID, presently probing the case, from filing the final report till April 20.
