COIMBATORE: While the investigation is ongoing with a case registered regarding the Karur stampede, former BJP state president K Annamalai has raised a question about whether it is appropriate for a high court judge to comment based on the preliminary complaint.
Annamalai said that Vijay can be arrested only for political motives, but he would easily be released as per the law.
Regarding the HC judge’s remarks on the stampede, Annamalai said, “We never criticise judges. However, in this case, even though he is a judge, the words used and their nature have become a topic of discussion on social media.
While a case has been registered and an investigation is ongoing, my personal opinion is that it may not be appropriate for even a judge to comment based on the initial level complaint. My personal question is — how can someone pass such comments before the investigation is complete?”
