Clarification and regret

In the report “Apex Court pulls up High Court” published on October 1, the references made to the Madras High Court were, according to our Legal Correspondent, oral observations made by Justice B.N. Agrawal and Justice P.P. Naolekar during the course of the three-hour hearing of the AIADMK’s petition on Sunday. These observations, which have no relevance in law, are not part of the Supreme Court’s restraint order in relation to the Tamil Nadu bandh.

The failure of our Legal Correspondent in his report to make this clear, thus creating a wrong impression in the minds of readers, is regretted.
