Close Sankararaman murder case, says Swamy
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> By Our Special Correspondent
MADURAI, FEB.11. The Janata Party president, Subramanian Swamy, has demanded the closure of the Sankararaman murder case against the Kanchi Acharyas in the light of the observations made by the Supreme Court and the Madras High Court while hearing their bail petitions.
<b>Talking to newspersons here today, Dr. Swamy said the higher courts had observed that there was no prima facie case against the Acharyas and hence, he said, the police should file a closure report under Section 173 of the Indian Penal Code in the appropriate court. In the event of the Chief Minister, who also holds the Home portfolio, not ordering the closure, "she will be liable for civil and criminal prosecution under Section 195 and Section 358 of Criminal Procedure Code and the Civil Procedure Code," the Janata Party leader claimed.</b>
Dr. Swamy demanded the removal of the Kancheepuram Superintendent of Police, K. Premkumar, from the investigation, suspension and his prosecution on the basis of the sanction accorded by the Governor, through the Government Order (3 D) No. 67, dated May 21, 2003, of the Home Department, in a case registered by the Nagercoil Crime Branch CID on October 14, 2002. If the case was not closed, the Janata Party, in association with the Viswa Hindu Parishad, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Hindu Munnani, Bharatiya Janata Party and other like-minded forces would launch an agitation against the "international conspiracy to tarnish the image of those who held a haloed status in society," he said.
On the demand of the All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam for repoll in all the 39 Lok Sabha constituencies of the State, Dr. Swamy posed why the party's general secretary, Jayalalithaa, waited so long to make the demand. He also pointed out that the AIADMK was in power when the electoral rolls were revised and the party's ally was ruling at the Centre when the elections were held.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
