Case Against India Attending
Commonwealth Summit in Sri Lanka: TGTE
- Wednesday, 23 October 2013
Acting Chief Justice Agarwal and Justice M.Sathyanarayana of Chennai High Court heard a case today against India’s External Affairs Ministry for delaying a response to a petition urging India not to participate in the upcoming Commonwealth Conference in Sri Lanka due to genocide and war crimes committed by the Sri Lankan Government against Tamils in that island.
The above mentioned petition was sent to the Indian External Affairs Ministry by Professor Sarawathy Rajendran, the Coordinator of the Solidarity Center of Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE).
The writ petition was filed in Chennai High Court by Professor Saraswathy. The case number is: w.p28656/2o13. The petitioner was represented by Advocate Saravanan and Advocate Ajitha.
One of the questions raised by the Chief Justice was whether the petitioner expects that India should be against China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other countries due to private reasons. Advocate Saravanan responded by saying that the petitioner has stated her position clearly in the memorandum submitted to the External Ministry. The Chief Justice asked the petitioner as well as the advocate himself to ponder this question.
Case was adjourned to October 24, 2013.
