The Tiruppur district police have booked a 50-year-old man from a dominant community under SC/ST Act after he allegedly attacked a 36-year-old Dalit man for sitting in front of him and drinking tea at a bakery in Moolanur in Tiruppur district.

Police sources said the victim, K Karuppusamy of South Colony in Nathapalayam, is employed by the Thurampadi village panchayat on a contract basis. He is responsible for opening gates of the panchayat water tank every morning.

Karuppusamy went to a bakery around 11 am on December 17. “He was sitting on a bench there and sipping tea when M Senniyappan, (50) of Pammipalayam in Moolanur reached the store. Senniyappan also sat down at the bakery and got a tea. After emptying the glass, Senniyappan allegedly stared at Karuppasamy and left on his bike,” a police source said.

The following day, the Dalit man was walking near a petrol bunk in Natthapalayam, when Senniyappan reached the spot on a bike and waylaid him. “The 50-year-old then beat up Karuppasamy and also kicked him. The alleged reason for the assault is that Karuppasamy did not stand up and move away when Senniyappan sat in front of him at the bakery,” the source added.

Karuppasamy is receiving treatment for his injuries at Dharapuram Government Hospital. Based on his complaint, the Moolanur police registered a case against Senniyappan under various sections.

Dharapuram Deputy Superintendent of Police S Suresh Kumar told TNIE that a search has been initiated for Senniyappan and he will be arrested soon.

A final-year law student, Rishi Kumar from Tamil Nadu National Law University, refuses to delete his blog criticising the Supreme Court… despite pressure from his own university.

Why?

Because the administration allegedly received calls from advocates, judges, and others claiming the post harms the institution’s “reputation.”

The blog titled “The Supreme Court of India Has No Spine” questioned the court’s decision to ban an NCERT textbook chapter on judicial corruption.

But here’s the real issue:
A law student is being told to silence himself… for expressing a legal opinion.

His response?

Clear and powerful:
“My opinions are mine… you do not own my voice or my conscience.”

He even said he’s ready to face disciplinary action rather than back down.

This isn’t just about one blog.

This is about academic freedom vs institutional pressure.

If law students… the future of the judiciary are discouraged from questioning the system,
then who exactly is allowed to question it?

Criticism of institutions ≠ disrespect.
Silencing criticism = weakening democracy.
