A man who moved the Madras high court seeking CBI probe into the death of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa was poorer by ₹50,000, as the court imposed the sum as exemplary cost for having wasted judicial time.
Justice P N Prakash, rejecting the plea of M Ramanathan of Salem, said: “The fact remains that an inquiry commission has been appointed by the state headed by the retired judge of the high court. While so, the present petition has been filed on frivolous grounds. Hence, the petition is dismissed by imposing a cost of ₹50,000 to the petitioner payable to the legal services authority of the high court.”
It was the petitioner’s contention that Jayalalithaa had died in a suspicious manner, and hence he demanded an ‘independent probe’ by a central agency to unearth the truth.
