CHENNAI: In a relief to DMK leader M K Stalin’s elder sister S
Selvi, the
Madras HC rapped a petitioner who sought transfer of a case against her and her son-in-law
Jyothimani to another court. The court warned that it would be constrained to impose an exemplary cost on the petitioner. The case pertains to money transaction over purchase of 2.94 acres of land at Thalambur village in Kancheepuram district.
A man named V Nedumaran of
Valasaravakkam filed a complaint against Selvi and Jyothimani saying they failed to register a property even after he paid them Rs 3.5 crore in 2007. He said Jyothimani sold the same property to another person in 2009.
In 2018, a judicial magistrate court in Poonamallee rejected Nedumaran’s petition to transfer the case. Challenging the order, the present petition was filed. On August 6, Justice P N Prakash concurred with the submissions of advocate P Kumaresan, representing Selvi, and said the court didn’t find any infirmity in the order passed by the judicial magistrate. Following the finding, government advocate P Krithika Kamal sought permission to withdraw their petition. Allowing the petition, the court dismissed the petition as withdrawn.
