Former Palani MLA moves High Court for CBI probe into fraudulent registration of math land

Former Palani MLA moves High Court for CBI probe into fraudulent registration of math land Former Palani MLA K.S.N. Venugopalu Senapathi of the AIADMK on Tuesday filed a public interest litigation petition before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court for a CBI probe in the case of fraudulent registration of Palani math land. The petitioner, who said he had served as a trustee of the Dhandayuthapani Swamy Temple in Palani from 2004 to 2006, submitted that the case related to the alleged illegal registration, fraudulent alienation, and attempted misappropriation of the extremely valuable immovable property at Palani Adivaram. The allegations involve fraudulent execution and registration of documents affecting the valuable temple property and serious offences including abuse of official position, conspiracy, and manipulation of public records, he said. The investigation now rested with the CB-CID, which is under the control of the Tamil Nadu government. Since the allegations themselves extend to Registration Department officials and possibly higher authorities, the investigation by an agency under the control of the State did not inspire public confidence, he said, pointing out that not a single person had been arrested so far. A CBI investigation alone would ensure independence, transparency and credibility. Unless the probe was entrusted to an agency independent of the State, the truth might never fully emerge, he said.

NEET violence: Supreme Court debates yet to detail if Delhi Police kept MHA in the loop

NEET violence: Supreme Court debates yet to detail if Delhi Police kept MHA in the loop Little has been said in the Supreme Court so far about instructions or consultations between the Delhi Police and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) as violence unfolded in NEET-UG protests in the national capital on July 20. The Supreme Court judgment of February 2012 in the Ramlila Maidan Incident versus Home Secretary refers to the then Delhi Police Commissioner’s affidavit that “as a matter of practice, Delhi Police keep the Ministry of Home Affairs duly informed in such matters”. The judgment said the affidavit had reasoned that the MHA “for obvious reasons, is concerned about the preservation of law and order in the capital and carefully monitors all situations dealing with public order and tranquility”. The court had recorded from the affidavit that it was “also clear that he [Police Commissioner] was continuously in touch with the senior functionaries of the Ministry of Home Affairs”, and had kept them clued in on the decisions taken by senior police officers on the ground. Under Article 239AA of the Constitution, the MHA has control over the Delhi Police. The stand of the political executive would be a crucial part of the Supreme Court hearings into the NEET-UG protests, especially with one of the petitions claiming that the police action on July 20 against students protesting peacefully was “no less than the atrocities of the Jallianwala Bagh”. Independently, outside the court room, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha has reportedly asked in a letter whether the Home Minister had authorised the use of “lethal force”. The Supreme Court, over the decades, has shown a keen awareness and concern about political influence over the police.
