The Madras High Court on Wednesday, November 8, 2023 refused to quash a criminal defamation case filed by former Higher Education Minister K.P. Anbalagan of AIADMK in 2020 against Anna University former Vice-Chancellor E. Balagurusamy and the publishers of a Tamil magazine.
Justice G. Jayachandran dismissed the quash petitions after observing that the former Vice-Chancellor, who had given an interview to the magazine, as well as the publishers would have to establish their innocence only after facing the trial before the lower court concerned.
