Why no FIR against Ponmudy? Madras high court orders notice to DGP, commissioner
Madras high court CHENNAI: Madras high court on Friday ordered notices to the Tamil Nadu DGP and the Chennai commissioner of police on a suo motu plea initiated against former DMK minister K Ponmudy for his obscene speech against Shaivism, Vaishnavism and women. On April 23, Justice N Anand Venkatesh decided to initiate the suo motu plea since the Tamil Nadu police failed to register an FIR against the former minister. After the approval of the chief justice, the petition was numbered and listed before Justice P Velmurugan, who handles the portfolio of cases against MPs and MLAs. When the plea came for hearing on Friday, Justice Velmurugan directed the registry to forward a copy of the order passed by Justice Anand Venkatesh to the DGP and the commissioner and adjourned the hearing to June 25. According to Justice Anand Venkatesh, the comments made by Ponmudy, on the face of it, were completely derogatory towards women and deliberately spewed venom and hatred on the two main sects of Hinduism. The judge directed the initiation of suo motu proceedings as the Tamil Nadu police failed to register an FIR against the minister, as suggested by high court. As per the Supreme Court order, police are mandated to register a case against such hate speech even in the absence of a formal complaint, high court pointed out. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Преносими лазерни заваръчни пистолети, 50% отстъпка LYH Купете сега Undo 'Tamil Nadu police must obey the orders of Supreme Court to check hate speeches in letter and spirit.

Israel-Iran Tensions: Puri says India has adequate energy supplies
New Delhi, Jun 13 (PTI) India, the world's third-largest oil importer and fourth biggest gas buyer, has enough energy supplies for the coming months, Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said amid escalating tensions in the globe's biggest energy supply regions. In a post on X, the minister said he held a periodic review of energy availability scenario with the captains of the Indian oil industry. "India's energy strategy is shaped by successfully navigating the trilemma of energy availability, affordability and sustainability," he said. "We have adequate energy supplies for the coming months." Global oil prices have jumped to their highest level since January after Israel struck Iran, in a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The rate of the benchmark Brent crude was up by more than 10 per cent shortly after the news emerged, but eased a little. Brent was trading close to USD 75 a barrel, up more than 5 per cent over Thursday's close. India imports more than 85 per cent of its crude oil needs and roughly half of its natural gas requirement. More than 40 per cent of the oil imports and half of the gas imports come from the Middle East. Despite the spike on Friday, oil prices are still more than 10 per cent lower than where they were at the same point last year. They are also well below over USD 100 a barrel rate seen in early 2022 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Russia is India's largest supplier of crude oil, which is refined into fuels like petrol and diesel in refineries. Qatar is India's biggest supplier of natural gas, which is used to make fertilisers, generate electricity and turned into CNG to run automobiles and piped to household kitchens for cooking.
