Kollywood
actor
Suriya
recently
released
a
statement
after
Madras
High
Court
rejected
the
request
of
initiating
contempt
of
court
proceedings
against
him.
Yesterday
(September
18),
a
bench
of
Chief
Justice
AP
Sahi
rejected
Justice
SM
Subramaniam's
request
to
initiate
court
proceedings
against
Suriya.
For
the
unversed,
the
actor's
controversial
comment
about
NEET
(National
Eligibility
cum
Entrance
Test)
exams
was
considered
as
criminal
contempt
by
Justice
SM
Subramaniam.
The
Madras
High
Court
called
Suriya's
comment
'unnecessary
and
unwarranted'.
The
court
revealed
that
the
actor
will
not
be
facing
a
contempt
case
over
his
comment
on
the
decision
of
conducting
NEET
exams
amid
the
COVID-19
scare.
"The
utterances
by
the
cine
actor
are
unnecessary
and
unwarranted
for
being
ignorant
of
the
manner
in
which
the
entire
judiciary
of
this
state
has
served
the
interest
of
its
citizens
during
this
pandemic," the
Madras
High
Court
said.
Welcoming
the
court's
decision,
Suriya
shared
his
statement
on
Twitter
handle.
The
actor
is
'humbled
and
inspired
by
the
fairness' by
the
Madras
High
Court.
The
statement
reads,
"I'm
deeply
moved
by
the
institutional
magnanimity
of
the
Indian
Judiciary.
I
have
always
held
out
judiciary
in
the
highest
esteem,
which
is
the
only
hope
for
upholding
the
constitutional
rights
of
our
people.
I'm
humbled
and
inspired
by
the
fairness
and
justice
demonstrated
by
the
Hon'ble
High
Court
of
Madras."
Well,
Suriya's
fans
are
very
happy
with
the
court's
decision,
as
they
were
supporting
the
actor.
For
the
unversed,
Suriya
had
released
a
statement
last
week
after
4
students,
who
were
to
appear
for
the
year's
NEET
exam
died
by
suicide
in
Tamil
Nadu.
In
the
statement,
Suriya
had
said,
"With
the
fear
of
life
due
to
COVID-19
scare,
the
court
which
dispenses
justice
via
video-conferencing
orders
students
to
fearlessly
go
and
take
exams."
