Film star Suriya Sivakumar will not face a contempt case over his comments on the Madras High Court linked to the alleged suicide of three medical aspirants. The Madras High Court today called the actor's comments "unnecessary and unwarranted" but ruled that there would be no contempt proceedings.
"The utterances by the cine actor are unnecessary and unwarranted for being ignorant of the manner in which the entire judiciary of this state has served the interest of it's citizens he state has been serving during this pandemic ...," the court said.

High Court judge SM Balasubramaniam had said the actor was in contempt of court over his comments on four candidates of NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) who died by suicide recently in Tamil Nadu.
