In 2013, the lower court had sentenced him to undergo one year rigorous imprisonment (on two counts) and had fined him Rs. 1000 under Section 7 (Public servant taking gratification other than legal remuneration) and Section 13 (Criminal misconduct by a public servant) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The court directed the trial court to secure him and commit him to prison to undergo the sentence.
The former IAS officer, K. M. Subramanian, working as Commissioner of Social Welfare, was trapped by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti Corruption at Madurai in 2002. It is said that the IAS officer had conducted a review meeting with officials of weaning food societies and had decided to make official visits to the societies at Tirunelveli, Virudhunagar and Madurai.
He is said to have received illegal remuneration to desist from acting against the co-operative societies that had failed to maintain records and adhere to the rules.
