Madras High Court confirms conviction of former DMK Minister Pulavar Senguttuvan’s kin in disproportionate assets case
Justice G.K. Ilanthiraiyan dismisses an appeal filed by them against the conviction and sentence imposed on them by Tiruchi principal district and sessions court in 2023
The Madras High Court has upheld the conviction and three-year prison sentence for the former DMK Minister Pulavar B.M. Senguttuvan's family members in a 1996-2001 disproportionate assets case. The four convicted individuals appealed the 2023 judgment of the Tiruchirapalli Principal District and Sessions Court, but their appeals were dismissed by Justice G.K.
Ilanthiraiyan. Senguttuvan, who served as Minister for the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments and Animal Husbandry Departments from 1996 to 2001, died in 2021. The case arose from the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) registering charges against the family members for amassing wealth disproportionate to their known sources of income during Senguttuvan's tenure as Minister.
