The Supreme Court on Friday decided to examine an appeal challenging a decision of the Madras High Court quashing criminal proceedings against several people in a job scam allegedly involving Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister V. Senthilbalaji.
A Bench led by the Chief Justice of India issued notice on the petition filed by a Mechanical Engineering graduate, P. Dharamaraj, a member of the backward classes represented by senior advocate K.V. Vishwanathan and advocate Balaji Srinivasan.
The petition said the accused "carried out an elaborate fraudulent scheme whereby meritorious candidates were excluded from the selection list and their qualifying scores tampered with in favour of less meritorious candidates who had bribed the accused".
