Madras High Court Orders Police to Prevent Protests Targeting Sitting Judges
The Madras High Court directed Tamil Nadu police to deny permission for public gatherings or protests that personally target, defame, or intimidate sitting judges, emphasizing judicial independence. The court ordered immediate legal action if permitted assemblies turn into personal attacks. It also instructed the Cyber Crime Division to monitor online threats against judges. These measures followed protests against a June 2026 ruling that invalidated reservation benefits for religious converts, which included personal attacks on judges.
