Sources have stated that the Supreme Court on Wednesday has asked the Tamil Nadu government to chin up and face criticism of its policies and no other State in the country seemed to have filed so many criminal defamation cases, that too using the state machinery and the public prosecutor’s office.


Meanwhile a Bench which was led by Justice Dipak Misra, has perused the history of defamation cases filed in the past five years and has said criminal defamation cases were filed even for reports about the Chief Minister’s health condition.


It is stated that the Bench was hearing a criminal defamation case filed against DMDK leader Vijayakanth through the local public prosecutor on the government’s sanction against his remarks at a public event in Tirupur district on November 6th, 2015.


Meanwhile during an earlier hearing on a similar defamation case against Mr. Vijayakanth for remarks made in Dharmapuri district, Justice Misra had orally observed that a public prosecutor is not a postman to settle political scores.
