Quick Summary: Thiru Venkatesan and Elangovan's request to dismiss a human rights violation charge was rejected. The court found proof of their involvement in attacking a complainant, dismissing their claims of being innocent.
Thiru Venkatesan and Elangovan filed a request challenging a decision from the Tamil Nadu State Human Rights Commission. They wanted the court to cancel the decision that accused them of violating human rights.
According to the fourth person involved, J.S. Mani, he was forcibly taken by Thiru Venkatesan to a police booth, stripped, and beaten. He was later taken to another police station and beaten again. This led to a criminal case against him, but he claimed his rights were violated.
"The petitioners took me, stripped me, and assaulted me," Mani reported.
The Commission's investigation found that Mani was arrested on July 27, not July 26, as he said. However, records showed he had injuries, confirmed by a doctor, supporting Mani's claims of being beaten.
Thiru Venkatesan and Elangovan argued that Mani was causing public disturbances and using bad language. They claimed they arrested him legally after he disrupted local businesses.
"He was disturbing the public and using obscene words," they argued.
The Commission didn't believe their story. They relied on medical evidence and witness reports, confirming Mani's injuries were due to the petitioners' actions. The evidence was clear: they violated human rights.
Judges M.S. Ramesh and R. Sakthivel dismissed the request. They found no reason to change the Commission's findings, as the evidence against the petitioners was strong.
"We find no reasons to interfere with the recommendation," the judges concluded.
In the end, the court supported the Human Rights Commission's decision, leaving Thiru Venkatesan and Elangovan without any help.
