CHENNAI, NOV. 17. Senior counsel Ram Jethmalani told the Madras High Court today that he had not seen a "corrupt investigation" as the one in the case relating to the murder of Sankararaman, manager of the Sri Varadarajaperumal temple, in his 60 years experience at the Bar. Resuming his arguments before Mr. Justice R.Balasubramanian, pleading for bail for the Kanchi Sankaracharya, Sri Jayendra Saraswathi, who was arrested in connection with the crime, Mr. Jethmalani said the order remanding the Sankaracharya was totally void. No parade was held to identify the accused, the grounds of arrest were not furnished to the Acharya when he was arrested and his lawyer could not exercise his right of consultation with the Acharya before his remand. Further, the judicial magistrate sat outside court hours and remanded the accused. Mr.Jethmalani argued that the petitioner had no account with ICICI bank, from where it was alleged that huge amounts was withdrawn to pay the killer gang, nor was any money withdrawn, nor was it distributed to the killers.
