Madras High Court Seeks Status Report on Palani Math Land Investigation
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has directed the Tamil Nadu government to submit a status report on the investigation into the fraudulent registration of Palani Math land. Petitions seeking a CBI probe, including from former MLA K.S.N. Venugopalu Senapathi and Palani Municipality Chairperson R. Uma Maheshwari Pradeep, argue that the current investigation by the state-controlled CB-CID lacks independence. They emphasize the need for a CBI probe to ensure transparency and to trace the full financial and procedural chain involved in the case.
