Madras High Court refuses to quash FIR against former DMK MLA L. Idhayavarman
Justice G.K. Ilanthiraiyan directs Mamallapuram police to complete the investigation in a case registered against him for having caused damage to public property at Nemmeli desalination plant and file the final report within four weeks
The Madras High Court has refused to quash a First Information Report (FIR) registered against former DMK MLA L. Idhayavarman for alleged damage to public property at the Nemmeli seawater desalination plant. The court dismissed the plea and directed the police to complete the investigation and file the final report within four weeks.
The FIR was registered following a complaint by CMWSSB Assistant Engineer V. Malarselvam, who alleged that Idhayavarman and two others had ripped safety nets at the plant, causing a loss of ₹10,000 to the public exchequer. Idhayavarman denied the charge, claiming the case was politically motivated and that the officials had used green nets to cover the name of former Chief Minister M.K. Stalin during his visit to the plant.
