Hc Takes Letter About Employee’s Assets As Suo Motu Petition | Madurai News
Madurai: The Madras High Court has initiated suo motu proceedings over a 70-year-old man’s letter to Judge S. M. Subramaniam alleging that an employee of the Thanjavur District Registration Service possesses disproportionate assets.
In his letter, Packiam Sikkandar, a resident of Uthangudi in Madurai district, said that R Chandrasekaran, currently working in the registration service, had accumulated wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income in the space of 10 years. Chandrasekaran, who works as a registration assistant in Pattukottai, was due to retire in June. He said he had sent a complaint to Thanjavur DVAC officials in this regard against Chandrasekaran. He had attached the property purchase details, document number, registration date and property values as well. As no action was taken by DVAC, he had sent a letter to Judge SM Subramaniam.
Considering the shocking revelations, the judge ordered the court registry to treat the complaint as a suo motu written request to take appropriate action in the interests of justice.
When the motion was resumed for hearing on Wednesday, the judge requested a response from DVAC officials and adjourned the case to March 30.
