THE Supreme Court on Thursday barred the registration of any new FIRs against Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin over his remarks on Sanatana Dharma, without its prior permission.

- SUCHITRA KALYAN MOHANTY @ New Delhi

A two-judge bench of CJI Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar passed the interim order while hearing the DMK leader's plea to club multiple FIRs filed against him across the country.

"List for hearing in April. The interim order shall continue and apply to any new cases added as well. No further FIR shall be registered on the same cause," the court ordered.

The directive came after Udhayanidhi's counsel informed the bench that a fresh FIR had been registered against him in Bihar.
