CHENNAI: Four days after the Madras high court quashed a Tamil Nadu government order transferring all idol theft cases to the CBI while appointing inspector general of police Pon Manickavel as special officer for a year from the date of his retirement on November 30, the Tamil Nadu government has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court.
The state assailed the high court verdict on the quashing of the GO as well as the extension granted to Manickavel. Government sources told TOI that the special leave petition was yet to be numbered by the apex court.
Interestingly, the state appointed Abhay Kumar Singh, an additional director-general of police as idol wing chief on Manickavel's superannuation. The HC, however, made it clear that Pon Manickavel would head the force.
