Chennai: Former BJP national secretary H Raja today appeared before the Thirumayam Judicial Magistrate Court in a case which was registered against him by the Pudukottai police for passing derogatory comments on the judiciary in 2018.
It may be noted that Raja had earlier moved the Madurai bench of the Madras High Court seeking anticipatory bail. However, this was rejected following which Raja appeared at the Thirumayam court today.
Case was filed against Raja for allegedly violating the orders of the court and proceeded to set up a stage for a meeting as a part of Vinayagar Chathurthi celebrations in Pudukkottai district on 15 September 2018.
When police officials attempted to stop them, Raja picked up an argument during which he passed derogatory comments about the judiciary.
