Periyar University V-C arrest case | Madras High Court calls for report from Magistrate

The Madras High Court has called for a detailed report from a Salem judicial magistrate who had refused to remand Periyar University Vice-Chancellor R. Jagannathan and also granted conditional bail to him on December 26, 2023.

Justice P. Dhanabal called for the report pursuant to a criminal appeal filed by the State challenging the Magistrate’s order. He also ordered notices, returnable by January 12, to the Vice-Chancellor as well the complainant against him.

Additional Public Prosecutor R. Muniyapparaj brought it to the notice of the court that the president of Periyar University Labour Union E. Elangovan had lodged a complaint accusing the vice chancellor of having misused his office for private benefits.
