A bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta extended their stay order and asked the complainant to submit their response within six weeks.
“Interim order to continue. Re-list the matter in the week commencing September 9,” the bench stated.
The highest court placed the criminal case against Annamalai on hold on February 26.
During the interview on October 22, 2022, complainant V Piyush accused Annamalai of making derogatory remarks about Christians, linking it to the bursting of firecrackers two days before Diwali.
