Karur Stampede: TVK Moves Supreme Court Against Madras HC Order That Condemned It And Ordered SIT Probe

The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) approached the Supreme Court challenging a Madras High Court order that sharply criticised its handling of a political rally stampede and directed a SIT (Special Investigation Team) probe. The HC had faulted TVK’s organizers and demanded accountability for crowd control lapses. The appeal questions procedural propriety and scope of investigation oversight, while raising issues of governance, public safety, and judicial review in mass event tragedies.
