Chennai, 6 May (H.S.): The Madras High Court has quashed a bribery case against DMK MLA S. Gandhirajan, citing procedural lapses by the police.

According to reports, the court noted that the police failed to obtain prior permission from a judicial magistrate before registering the case. This oversight led to the court’s decision to quash the proceedings.

The case against MLA Gandhirajan had alleged bribery, but the police’s failure to follow proper procedure has now resulted in the case being dismissed. The court’s ruling highlights the importance of adhering to legal protocols in investigations, particularly when they involve public figures.

This development is likely to have implications for the MLA and the case, which had garnered significant attention. With the case now quashed, it’s unclear whether further action will be taken or if the matter is considered closed .
