Madras High Court reverses discharge of T.N. Minister Duraimurugan from yet another disproportionate assets case
The Madras High Court on Thursday (April 24, 2025) reversed the discharge of Tamil Nadu Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan and his wife D. Shanthakumari from yet another disproportionate assets case registered against them in 2011, for the check period between 2007 and 2009.
Justice P. Velmurugan allowed a criminal revision petition filed by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) in 2017 and set aside the discharge order passed by a special court in Vellore. The judge directed the trial court to frame charges and conduct a trial.
Since the chargesheet against the accused had been filed in 2013 itself, the judge ordered that the trial proceedings be conducted on a day-to-day basis and completed within six months from the date of the receipt of a copy of the High Court order.
The judge on Wednesday allowed another revision, pending since 2017, and reversed a similar discharge order passed in 2007 with respect to a different disproportionate assets case registered against the Minister and his family members, for the check period between 1996 and 2001.

However, due to the combustible material stored in the building, including plastic and clothes, and the narrow lanes leading up to it, which prevented fire engines that ran out of water from giving way to other rescue vehicles, it took the DFS over 12 hours to douse the flames.
