The Madras High Court on Thursday granted time till September 21 for the police to spell out the status of further investigation being conducted into the 2017 Kodanad estate heist-cum-murder case.
The time was granted during the hearing of a plea by three accused seeking permission to examine former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami, V.K. Sasikala, J. Elavarasi, V.N. Sudhakaran and five others.
When the plea was listed before Justice N. Anand Venkatesh, advocate Romeo Roy Alfred said, the accused D. Deepu, M.S. Satheesan and A. Santhosh Samy had urged the trial court to permit examination of as many 10 people but the permission was granted for examining only one. Therefore, they had filed the present criminal revision petition in 2021 seeking permission to examine the other nine persons.
