‘Don’t indulge in mudslinging, challenge orders legally’: Madras HC Chief Justice to counsel in YouTuber Savukku's case

CHENNAI: The Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, Manindra Mohan Shrivastava, on Wednesday strongly reprimanded a senior advocate for making allegations of judicial bias against a sitting judge while mentioning a criminal matter involving YouTuber ‘Savukku’ Shankar.

The remarks were made when the counsel appeared before the first Division Bench, comprising the Chief Justice and Justice G. Arul Murugan, and complained that Justice P. Velmurugan had been biased against his client while hearing a petition filed by the Greater Chennai City Police seeking cancellation of interim bail.

Objecting firmly, the Chief Justice said that any judicial order passed by a court must be challenged only through legally recognised remedies, such as appeals.
