Justice A. D. Jagadish Chandira of the Madras High Court on November 15 appreciated anti-corruption organisation Arappor Iyakkam led by Jayaram Venkatesan, for having earned the reputation of filing police complaints against public servants only after collecting voluminous materials against them.
The judge appreciated the non-governmental organisation when its counsel V. Suresh sought time to file a petition regarding a complaint made by it in 2018 against the then Food Minister R. Kamaraj of the AIADMK accusing him of corruption in the procurement of essential commodities.
“Whenever Arappor Iyakkam makes a complaint, they always make it with full details,” the judge said and granted time till November 22 for the filing of the petition seeking a direction to the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) to expedite the inquiry and complete it within a time frame.
