Madras High Court judge requested to recuse himself from hearing revision case against T.N. Minister Ponmudy’s acquittal in disproportionate assets case

The Hindu  

The Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption as well as Tamil Nadu Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudy on Thursday, September 7, 2023 requested Justice N. Anand Venkatesh of the Madras High Court to recuse from hearing a suo motu revision petition taken up by him against the acquittal of the Minister and his family members from a disproportionate assets case. In his submission, Mr. Luthra said, the judge had found fault with the High Court administration having transferred the disproportionate assets case from Villupuram to Vellore without giving an opportunity of hearing to the High Court administration. Mr. Luthra also said that the suo motu revision had been taken up by the High Court even before the expiry of the period within which the DVAC could file an appeal challenging the acquittal. When Justice Venkatesh interjected during the arguments and asked whether the DVAC had decided to file an appeal, the counsel replied: “We are processing it and examining it.” On his part, Mr. Elango said that his client was not a party to the administrative orders passed by the High Court transferring the case from Villupuram to Vellore and therefore he would not be in a position to address arguments on those issues, unless he was served with copies of the materials which culminated in the transfer of the case from one district to another.
