The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Monday ordered notice to the High Court Registry on an appeal filed by a man, acquitted of all charges, seeking to redact his name from the judgment copy to protect his Right to Privacy.
He preferred the appeal against a Single Bench order that dismissed his plea seeking the relief and held that in the absence of statutory backing, the court could not issue such directions.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
