The Supreme Court had pulled up Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and Shipping Minister T.R. Baalu Aug 4 for indeterminately delaying their counters to a contempt notice issued Oct 1, 2007.
The court threatened to issue arrest warrants in the event of a further failure to respond to the notice.
The apex court had initiated suo motu action after the state government organised a shutdown to protest against the judiciary's 'interference in legislative preserves of elected representatives with regard to the Sethusamudram Project'.
Karunanidhi called off his hunger strike after the Supreme Court came out strongly against him and wondered if there was a constitutional breakdown in Tamil Nadu.
