If you commented on a post on Facebook about TN Government policies or people, and someone complained in Cyber Crime Branch, you may face legal action depending on the nature and content of your comment under the various penal provisions of the IT Act and IPC, which punishes sending offensive or menacing messages, publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form, including defamation, intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace and making statements conducing to public mischief respectively.
Therefore, if your comment on Facebook falls under any of these categories, you may be liable for legal action by CCB or any other authority. The legal action may include blocking your account, removing your comment, issuing a notice to you, filing an FIR against you, etc.
As for asking apology for your comment, it may depend on various factors such as the nature and content of your comment and whether the person/entity to whom you want to apologize is willing to accept your apology or not and whether the legal consequences of your apology will amount to an admission of guilt or liability or not.
It is advised that you should consult a criminal lawyer who can advise you on the best course of action based on your specific circumstances. You can do that by clicking on the link below.
