PIL asks Madras High Court for CBI or SIT probe in POCSO case
A public-interest litigation petition before the Madras High Court seeks an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation or a special investigation team into the ‘Gem Granites’ Veeramani POCSO case. The petitioner also asks media organisations not to circulate case-related material.
A public-interest litigation petition has been filed in the Madras High Court seeking a probe by either the Central Bureau of Investigation or a special investigation team into the ‘Gem Granites’ Veeramani case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. The supplied material does not identify the petitioner, the allegations in detail or the respondents named in the petition. It also does not say whether the court has issued notice, ordered an inquiry or scheduled a hearing.
The petitioner has additionally sought directions to the media to refrain from circulating pictures, screenshots, videos or other content connected with the POCSO Act case. That request concerns the publication or distribution of material relating to the case. The source does not specify which content has circulated, where it appeared or why the petitioner believes restrictions are required.
The petition’s request for a CBI or SIT investigation indicates that the petitioner is seeking a probe by an agency or team outside the existing investigative arrangement. However, the supplied report does not state what investigation, if any, is currently under way. No findings or judicial conclusions are included in the available material.
The allegations remain matters raised in the case and should not be treated as established facts.
