MADURAI: Setting aside an order of a trial court discharging a senior official of the Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowment (HR&CE) Department from a case registered against him for making unsavoury remarks against a dalit woman staff, the Madurai bench of the Madras high court directed the court to proceed with framing of charges and trial of the case and dispose the case as expeditiously as possible avoiding unnecessary adjournments.
In his order on a revision petition filed by the woman challenging the lower court order, Justice P R Shivakumar pointed out the trial court judge had committed a grave error in coming to the conclusion that no prima facie case had been made out for the offences and the order of the trial court discharging him is erroneous.
