A complaint had been lodged against the protesters with the director general of police and the home secretary, but no action had been taken, the petitioner said.
Hence he filed a petition in the court seeking a direction to the DGP to file an FIR based on a complaint against the protesters.
When the matter came up for admission, Justice M M Sundresh ordered notice to Raadhika and others.
