The Madras High Court on Friday (August 29, 2025) reserved its orders after wondering why it should not constitute a one man commission, led by its retired judge, to probe into allegations of police excess while quelling the Greater Chennai Corporation conservancy workers protest outside the Rippon building recently.
A Division Bench of Justices M.S. Ramesh and V. Lakshminarayanan told Additional Advocate General J. Ravindran the commission would be able to cull out the truth since the lawyers, who were also detained along with the conservancy workers, and the police were accusing each other of indulging in violence.
