The Hindu
Points out that all 13 victims had entered into a compromise and were not interested in prosecution
The Madras High Court has held that no useful purpose will be served in conducting trial in a 2014 job racket case against Electricity Minister V. Senthilbalaji since all 13 victims had compromised the issue and wanted the case to be quashed. The case pertained to alleged irregularities in recruitment when Mr. Senthilbalaji was Transport Minister in the erstwhile AIADMK government headed by Jayalalithaa. Justice M. Nirmal Kumar quashed the case against the Minister, his brother Ashok Kumar, personal assistant Shanmugam and Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) employee Rajkumar after the victims appeared before court and said the matter had been settled.
