HC: investigating corruption against the influential is itself hard
Sanction to prosecute two IAS officers in the SP Velumani tender case is still pending.
Madras High Court is unhappy that sanction to prosecute two IAS officers in the SP Velumani tender-scam case is still pending. Justice N. Anand Venkatesh asked why so much pressure is needed just to get approval, and said investigating corruption against the influential is itself hard in India. A Centre official must explain the delay in camera; the matter is adjourned to September 16.
