Police must serve the State, which endures, and not the party in government, which changes: Madras High Court

The Madras High Court ruled that police must serve the state, not the changing ruling party, emphasizing law‑enforcement independence. The judgment was delivered while granting anticipatory bail to 60‑year‑old DMK councillor D. Sudha, who was accused of abusing Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay. The court noted the bail request was based on insufficient evidence and that Sudha had no prior convictions.
