Madras HC restrains TN Speaker from action against DMK MLAs
Chennai, Sep 7 (IANS) The Madras High Court on Thursday directed Tamil Nadu assembly Speaker P. Dhanapal not to take action till September 14 on privilege notices issued to 21 DMK legislators.
The court was hearing a batch of petitions filed by these legislators.
The Speaker had issued notices to the DMK lawmakers for bringing and displaying banned tobacco product ‘gutka’ in the assembly.
Their counsel said no law banned possession or consumption of ‘gutka’ and maintained that a government notification had only banned its manufacture and sale.
On July 19, DMK Working President and Leader of Opposition M.K. Stalin and others displayed ‘gutka’ packets in the assembly to point out that banned items were available in market in alleged connivance of officials concerned.
Stalin also referred to an alleged gutka scam involving several senior police officers and asked what action was the government planning to take in the matter.
Objecting to the display of banned items in the assembly, the Speaker had issued a breach of privilege notice to the DMK lawmakers.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
