HC closes petition against AIADMK MLA in land grabbing case

The Madras High Court today closed a plea seeking a direction to the City Police Commissioner to take action on his compliant against a ruling party AIADMK MLA on a land grabbing allegation after police said it had closed the case after an inquiry.
Justice S Vaidhyanathan of Madurai Bench said if police had closed the case they should give a copy of the document for closing the case to the petitioner T Nallusamy within two weeks.
The judge also left it open to the petitioner to file a private complaint against the MLA A K Bose and his son Sivasubramaniam in a magistrate court and seek legal remedy.

The petitioner said he and his four siblings owned a joint patta for 1.94 acres of land at Madakulam in Madurai. A civil suit over the land was pending in the district munsif court.
He alleged that the MLA's son had fraudulently obtained power of attorney to the land from the children of his siblings in February 2010.
He also transferred 25 cents in favour of his mother B Backialakshmi in a fraudulent manner, the petitioner alleged.
When he questioned the MLA and his son about this, they abused him and threatened to kill him if he pursued the matter, he alleged.

Though he complained to authorities, no FIR has been registered till date and hence he moved the court seeking a direction to the Commissioner to instruct the Inspector of Police, Special Cell for Land Grabbing Cases, to register the complaint.
