Anitha’s death: SC declines plea for early hearing
The Supreme Court refused an urgent hearing of a petition seeking a direction to the Tamil Nadu government to initiate a judicial inquiry by a panel led by a retired Madras High Court judge into the death of S. Anitha, a Dalit girl who filed a case in the apex court against NEET.
Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra told advocate G.S. Mani, who filed the petition, that the matter would come up in due course.
The petition has also asked the court to intervene and direct the State government to maintain the law and order situation. The death led to widespread protests, road blocks by students across the State.
“The agitations and road blocks create a law and order situation which is very dangerous. The State is unable to keep the situation under control,” the petition said. The petition asked the court to “not permit political parties and the public to conduct illegal strike/boycott/human chain/road blocking/rail roko or any other mode of strike against NEET”.
