CHENNAI: God save this institution, Justice N Anand Venkatesh of Madras high court said about subordinate courts in Tamil Nadu and ordered notices on suo motu revisions initiated by him against the acquittal and discharge of DMK minister I Periyasamy and former AIADMK minister B Valarmathi from corruption cases.
“This is yet another textbook case of how the criminal justice system has been successfully subverted from within. It is a model for all the wrong reasons, for it offers a panoramic view of all known legal techniques available in the armoury to derail trial and to ensure that the wheels of the criminal justice system come to a creaking halt,” Justice Anand Venkatesh said on Friday.
