Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has taken a serious view of the fact that for eight years no counter affidavits were filed on a 2015 petition filed by a woman alleging that police officials in Madurai were involved in the custodial death of her husband. Only recently the police officials involved in the case had filed their counter affidavits.

The court was hearing a petition filed by Maheswari. The petitioner sought a direction to the State to initiate appropriate disciplinary action against the Madurai police officials who were involved in the custodial death of her husband Esakki, an accused in a murder case.
