‘Petitioner trying to prolong proceedings’
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court dismissed a criminal revision petition filed by Duraisamy of Thanjavur district who challenged the sentence awarded by a trial court, after taking note of the fact that he was trying to prolong the proceedings instead of cooperating.
The petitioner sought setting aside of the judgment delivered by Thanjavur Principal Sessions Court in 2016. The court confirmed the judgment of the Judicial Magistrate, Thanjavur, delivered in 2013.
The petitioner was sentenced for the offences under Section 279 (Rash driving or riding on a public way) and 304 A (Causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code. He filed the revision petition in 2017, challenging the trial court judgement.

The State on Wednesday informed the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court that the family of Muthu Mano, the remand prisoner who was murdered by a few inmates inside Palayamkottai Central Prison, had refused to accept the body.
The State submitted before a Division Bench of Justices S.S. Sundar and T. Krishnavalli that the family members did not comply with the court’s earlier order directing them to receive the body and perform the last rites by May 1.
Instead, they filed yet another petition before the High Court Bench seeking a judicial inquiry into the death by a sitting HC judge. Taking note of the submission, the court adjourned the hearing.

Bearing in mind the doctrine of sustainable development, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court allowed the authorities concerned to use two cents of land classified as ‘oorani’ to complete the construction of an anganwadi centre in Devakottai, Sivaganga district.
A Division Bench of Justices T. S. Sivagnanam and S. Ananthi made it clear that except for the construction of the anganwadi on the two cents of land no other construction should be made on the remaining portion of the land.
“There shall be an order of perpetual injunction restraining the authorities from putting up any construction in the remaining portion of the land,” the court said and added that it was conscious of the fact that authorities might use the remaining land under the guise of developmental activities.
