Government Law

The India — Supreme Court of India rejected the India — Tamil Nadu government's plea to modify its order suspending a state-appointed one-man enquiry commission and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into the Karur stampede, which killed 41 people. The India — Supreme Court of India emphasized the need for a fair and impartial investigation and reiterated its earlier order for a United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation probe, to be monitored by a three-member supervisory committee headed by former apex court judge Ajay Rastogi. The court also expressed strong criticism of the India — Madras High Court and Justice N. Senthilkumar for their handling of related petitions, including making observations against India — Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam without making them a party to the case and improperly registering a writ petition. The Karur stampede occurred on September 27 during a rally of actor-politician Vijay's India — Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, with police attributing the tragedy partly to a seven-hour delay by Vijay.
