The Madras High Court today ordered to issue notices to Tamil Nadu police on a petition seeking to register a case against Union Minister V Narayanasamy for his remarks against slain LTTE chief V Prabhakaran and Naam Tamizhar Katchi leader Seeman.
A division bench comprising Justices Selvam and Devadoss ordered issue of notice to the DGP and IGP, South Zone, on the petition filed by city based advocate C Ramesh and posted the case for hearing to June seven.
The petitioner alleged that Narayanasamy had last month at Puducherry made come comments against Prabhakaran and Seeman.
The petitioner said the statement of Narayanasamy was "irresponsible, scandalous and derogatory" and it "promoted enmity between Tamil speaking and non-Tamil speaking people.
Ramesh said he had complained to the DGP and IGP to take legal action against the minister under IPC section 153 (A)(promoting enmity between different groups) and file FIR.
He had also sent a copy of the complaint to President, Prime Minister, Governor of Tamil Nadu and Chief Minister.
