The Supreme Court on Monday, April 8, 2024 stayed the trial of Tamil Nadu Rural Development Minister I. Periyasamy in a corruption case regarding the alleged allotment of a High Income Group plot in the Mogappair Eri scheme of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board. The Minister, represented by advocate Ram Sankar, had wanted to put the trial on temporary hold to give the apex court requisite time to decide his petition challenging a suo motu order of a Single Judge Bench of the Madras High Court to reopen the case against him. However, a Single Judge Bench of the Madras High Court of Justice N. Anand Venkatesh took suo motu cognisance of six cases of corruption. The High Court erred in invoking suo motu powers of revision and erred in setting aside the well-reasoned judgment of the Special Court… It is the sanctity of a valid sanction which confers jurisdiction on the court and without the same, the prosecution is non est and the court lacks jurisdiction,” the Minister argued in the apex court.
