Dravidar Kazhagam president K. Veeramani on Friday expressed concern over the “language used” in the order of Justice Anand Venkatesh of the Madras High Court in the suo motu revision of the acquittal of Minister K. Ponmudy and discharge of Ministers K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran and Thangam Thennarasu from corruption cases.
In a statement, Mr. Veeramani said the judge’s tone gave the impression that he had completed the trial and was passing judgment that the government machinery was misused and every official involved in the acquittal or discharge of the Ministers had failed in their duties.
Stating that the order made it seem as if the Madras High Court was reading out chargesheets against all those involved in the acquittal or discharge process, he asked whether it was a fair and just approach. He alleged that the order contained “harsh”, “lampooning” language to “sling mud” at the government, judicial officers and the police.
