He ordered notice to A Packirisamy, an AIADMK worker, on whose complaint the case was filed against Ravindran, who had unsuccessfully contested in the last year assembly elections from the Sirkazhi constituency.



According to the complaint, Ravindran posted defamatory message against Handlooms and Textiles Minister O S Manian on facebook.

In his petition, Ravindran contended that the complaint was not an aggrieved party. The Minister has not given any complaint. He also claimed that he had only extracted some comment published in a magazine about the minister and posted it on his facebook page.
