Court dismisses bail pleas

Staff Reporter

PONDICHERRY: Principal Sessions Judge M. Chinnapandi on Friday dismissed the bail petitions of three accused - Kumar, Anandakumar and Anilkumar - in the "Kanchi Sankararaman Murder Case".

The judge said that he found no force in the argument of the counsels for the accused, who pleaded that since the main accused themselves had been enlarged on bail, the court could consider to grant bail to them also. In his order, the Judge said that the petitioners have not murdered Sankararaman out of personal vengeance but have committed murder for money. If they were granted bail "they would tamper witnesses by threatening and thereby escape from the law." The main case has been posted to March 20.
