Chennai – The Madras High Court apologised to the Supreme Court for taking more than six years to decide a writ plea filed by an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer who has been accused of extorting Rs 3 crore from a woman involved in an economic offence. In 2015, the Supreme Court had instructed to decide this plea expeditiously; but the Madras High Court took 6 years.
