Is Karuna's wife fit to depose before 2G court? SC directs AIIMS docs to examine her

July 10, 2013 16:11

The Supreme Court has directed the AIIMS director to set up a medical board to examine whether DMK chief M Karunanidhi's wife Dayalu Ammal is medically fit to depose before court in 2G case.

A petition has been filed by Dayalu Ammal's daughter Selvi, who pleaded before the Supreme Court that a medical board be constituted to find out whether her mother is physically and mentally fit to come to Delhi from Chennai to depose before the special CBI court.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for the petitioner, contended that Ammal had been diagnosed with cognitive and behavioural abnormalities in June last year and that she is progressively and gradually losing recognition of even her near and dear ones and is unable to move out of the house on her own.
