The Madras High Court on Friday came to the rescue of an elderly couple, who had been struggling for the last 12 years to get their tenant, a politician, vacate a residential flat used unauthorisedly as party office. The court directed the Greater Chennai Commissioner of Police to evict S. Ramalingam, whom the couple claimed to be DMK ward secretary, within 48 hours.
Justice S.M. Subramaniam ordered that the Commissioner of Police must deploy as many police personnel as necessary to evict the politician from the flat on the first floor of an apartment on Abdul Azeez Street in T. Nagar and hand over possession of the flat to the elderly couple.
