Chennai, December 02: The Madras High Court has directed the Tamil Nadu police to take suitable action against two police officials, including a woman police inspector, for arresting a man in violation of a court direction.
Justice T Sudanthiram directed city Police Commissioner to inquire into the matter and take suitable action against the woman police inspector attached to an All Womens’ Police Station and an Assistant Commissioner of Police for arresting one Sivaraman, recently married, facing charges of ill-treating his wife among other things.
Apprehending arrest, Sivaraman had moved the High Court for anticipatory bail and the Judge on October 29 had adjourned the hearing by several weeks, saying there was the possibility of the man and his wife reaching a compromise.
The Judge had, however, directed that the man should not be arrested till then.
