K.N.BASHA, J.

( 1. ) ALL the above writ petitions except W.P(MD).No.21974/2011 arising out of an incident taken place on 11.09.2011 at Paramakudi Town resulting in the death of 6 persons and injuries to several persons including police officials and as such, all the writ petitions are taken up together for hearing and passing this common order. W.P(MD).No.21974/2011 is arising out of an incident said to have taken place on 10.09.2011 resulting in the death of one Palanikumar at 00.45 hours at Mandalamanickam Police Station limits and the writ petitioner sought for the relief of Mandamus directing the respondents 1 to 3 to suspend the respondents 4 to 11, who are the District Collector and the police officials.

( 2. ) THE entire sequence of events resulting in the opening of fire by police officials causing the death of 6 persons and injuries to several persons including police officials took place on the day of paying homage to the memorial of Martyr Immanuel Sekaran, who has fought for the oppressed sections of the community and called as a social revolutionist. He was done to death on the fateful date i.e., on 11.09.1957 while he was returning after giving a speech in the patriotic poet Bharathi's festival. THE Government of India also conferred him the title as 'Socialist Revolutionary for Social Justice' and a postage stamp was also released by the Government of India for the memory of Immanuel Sekaran.

( 3. ) POET Bharathiyar, popularly known as a revolutionary poet, who has actively participated in the freedom struggle of our country. Immanuel Sekaran was done to death only after giving a speech in the revolutionary poet Bharathiyar's festival. It is worthwhile to remember the simple song penned by the revolutionary poet Bharathi in order to discourage caste discrimination. He wrote a song to the loving children as hereunder, ...[VERNACULAR TEXT OMMITED]... To mean that there cannot be any discrimination in the name of caste or creed. So saying is a sin to the humanity. It is also apt to quote the father of our nation Mahatma Gandhiji who said,

"Let us forget all thoughts of, I am a Hindu, you a Muslim or I am a Gujarati, you a Madrasi, let us think, I and mine in a common Indian nationality, we shall be free only when a large number of our people are determined to swim or sink together."

The dreams and desires of such great people like Bharathi and Mahatma Gandhiji are yet to be fulfilled.
