Madras HC judge says he won’t be cowed down by social media posts

A judge of the Madras High Court, who was dealing with an anticipatory bail application from an advocate and her lawyer daughter and made certain remarks against the behaviour of the lawyers with police personnel at public places, says that he won’t be deterred by the posts on social media.

When the advance bail petitions from advocate Tanuja Rajan @ Tanuja Kanthula and her daughter Preeti Rajan, residents of Chetpet came up yesterday, Justice M Dhandapani said in the open court that unwarranted messages were on circulation in the social media against him for questioning the conduct of lawyers in public places.
