March 27, 2017 15:59
The Madras High Court today directed the police to arrest a man who claimed to be the son of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, saying he had not only cheated the court but also forged documents. Justice R Mahadevan gave the direction after perusing the report filed by the Inspector of Police, Central Crime Branch, which was submitted in a sealed cover.
The report said petitioner J Krishnamoorthy was the son of one Vasanthamani and not Jayalalithaa, as falsely claimed by him. It said old stamp papers were purchased from a stamp vendor and the documents were forged.
"He has not only cheated the court but also prepared forged documents", said the judge and directed police to arrest him. He then posted the case for further hearing to April 10. On March 17, the court had reprimanded the man and questioned the genuineness of documents submitted by him.
"I can send this man straightaway to jail. I will ask police officers to take him to jail now itself," Justice R Mahadevan had said.
