The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has quashed the criminal proceedings initiated against 23 villagers from Tirupattur in Sivaganga district who were booked following an agitation demanding the closure of a Tasmac shop.
In 2017, the villagers had gathered in front of the Tasmac shop and demanded its closure. It was said that they had not obtained permission from the police to stage a protest. They caused hindrance to the public and traffic.
The counsel for the petitioners submitted that the villagers had approached the officials in a peaceful manner and asked them to close the Tasmac shop as it affected the entire village. They did not disturb the public, it was submitted.
