The Madras High Court on Friday made it clear that no protests or processions, including anti-Citizenship Amendment Act agitations, can be allowed in Tamil Nadu till the coronavirus threat abates.
A division bench of Justices M M Sundresh and Krishnan Ramasamy passed the interim order while hearing some petitions seeking stalling of such protests in the state.
It posted all CAA-related petitions to April 21 after going through the submissions made by public prosecutor A Natarajan.
The bench said steps have been taken by both the central and state governments to control the spread of coronavirus and it concerned the country's overall interest.
"Therefore in the light of the larger interest, we are inclined to direct that there shall not be any protests or processions.."
