A week after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a chargesheet in connection with the bloody clash between police and advocates on the Madras High Court premises in February last year a Magisteral Court today commenced the trial, even as advocates lodged their protest, stating it was a ‘defective chargesheet’.
After the CBI filed the chargesheet on January 12, accusing 31 advocates, a law college student and five police personnel, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Killivalvan took cognisance of the same and commenced trial, amid protest by the advocates.
When the case came up for hearing, the Madras High Court Advocates Association and Tamil Nadu Advocates Association filed petitions stating that the chargesheet was one-sided and the Court should not accept it.
The Magistrate ordred issuance of notice to the CBI and adjourned the case for tomorrow.
Madras High Court Advocates Association President R C Paul Kanagaraj, appearing before the court on behalf of the accused laweyrs, said the CBI had filed the chargesheet without proper investigation.
It was a defective chargesheet as the investigating agency had not conducted proper investigation before arraigning 31 advocates in the case, he said and pointed out that the CBI had accused only five police personnel, while requesting departmental action against 22 police personnel.
If departmental action was recommended against the 22 other policemen, it meant they erred in their duty and in that case, why they were not included as accused in the chargesheet, Mr Kanagaraj asked.
When the CBI itself said they committed excesses, why they were not included as accused, he also contended.
