The Madras High Court has directed ‘Savukku’ Shankar to provide a detailed explanation in a contempt of court petition filed by real estate firm G Square. Alleging wilful violation of a previous court order, the firm claims Mr. Shankar made reckless allegations on social media, affecting their business. Despite a previous injunction modified in June 2023, Mr. Shankar allegedly continued making defamatory statements without adhering to court directives. Senior counsel representing the realtor urged the court to penalize Mr. Shankar, citing a prior finding of guilt in a suo motu criminal contempt case.
