‘Hopelessly belated’: Calcutta High Court rejects plea seeking railway job after 51 years
The Madras High Court judge, V. Lakshminarayanan, emphasized on Wednesday (September 30, 2026) that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating a child sexual abuse case involving R. Veeramani of Gem Granites should be allowed to work without interference. The judge proceeded to postpone by four weeks a petition filed by the DMK party to include Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, Ministers Aadhav Arjuna and C.T.R.
Nirmal Kumar in the inquiry. The reason given was that the political party had filed a defamation suit against the two Ministers for alleging that they had shielded the accused while in power and had also submitted the present petition. The court ruled that sensitive issues like child sexual abuse should not be subjected to political interference.
