Supreme Court fiat to police officers

 The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed two Chennai police officers to approach the High Court for revocation of their suspension ordered in the wake of the February clashes between lawyers and police.

A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan passed the directions after A.K. Vishwanathan and Rama Subramanian contended that their suspension was illegal as no opportunity was given to them before the action was taken.

The bench said they could approach the High Court by filing appropriate applications with their plea.
