CHENNAI: Trolled and abused online for his caustic remarks against Tamil Nadu government school teachers boycotting classes, a judge of the Madras high courthas called for details of the offensive materials circulated online by unknown people.
Justice N Kirubakaran on Wednesday asked whether the striking government school teachers were not ashamed of the fact that only five students from government schools made it to the MBBS course in any of 22 government medical colleges in Tamil Nadu this year.
More than 43,000 government school teachers were boycotting classes participating in joint agitation by various employees associations demanding implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations and scrapping of contributory pension scheme.
On Friday, when the court assembled for the day, advocates Senthil Kumar, Suryaprakasam, Gnanasekaran and G Sankaran mentioned trolling of the judge and sought action against those indulging in such indecent activities under the cover of anonymity.
Justice Kirubakaran said, "Abusive, malicious, defamatory, false and obscene messages are spreading virally in social media, accusing and degrading the judiciary in general, and this court in particular. Advocates and others would complain before this court that these messages are uploaded in social media by persons who are aggrieved over some of the observations made in the orders passed regarding the teachers and other government servants, who are protesting against the government by boycotting the schools and offices."
The advocates said such action not only amounted to contempt of court but also interference with justice delivery system.
"If it is not checked and nipped in the bud, then any person who comes to court and fails to get a favourable order would definitely follow the same path, and there will be no end to it. Consequently, the majesty and dignity of the court will be damaged and degraded," they said.
The judge recorded their offer to file the copies of the offending messages before the court so that the court could pass appropriate orders.
