DMK organisation secretary R.S. Bharathi on Thursday said Justice N. Anand Venkatesh of the Madras High Court had followed a ‘pick and choose’ policy in taking up suo motu revision of the acquittal of Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudy and discharge of Revenue Minister K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran and Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu from corruption cases registered against them during the AIADMK regime.
He said the DMK would approach the Supreme Court against Justice Venkatesh’s decision.
“Of course, the court and the judge are vested with discretionary powers to suo motu take up cases. But the discretion should not be shaped by mala fide intentions,” Mr. Bharathi said, addressing the media.
