Days after taking suo motu revision against Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudy’s acquittal from a disproportionate assets case, the Madras High Court has taken up suo motu revision against the discharge of Revenue Minister K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran and Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu, too, from disproportionate assets cases against them.
Justice N. Anand Venkatesh is slated to hear the two new petitions on Wednesday. Principal Sessions Court for Virudhunagar district in Srivilliputtur had discharged the Ministers on the basis of further investigation taken up by Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) in September 2021 and the filing of supplementary final reports, giving them a clean chit, in October 2022.
