DMK plea to summon, question against Vijay, two Ministers by SIT in Veeramani POCSO case adjourned by 4 weeks

Chennai, Sep 30 (UNI) The Madras High Court on Wednesday adjourned by four weeks, a plea filed by the DMK seeking a direction to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to summon Chief Minister Vijay and two Ministers--for making allegations against DMK of having tried to cover up the case--and collect evidence allegedly in their possession in the Veeramani POCSO case.
When the plea filed yesterday by DMK Treasurer TR.Baalu a day after lodging a complaint to SIT with a similar demand was taken up for hearing, Mr Justice.V.Lakshminarayanan said the SIT should be allowed to investigate without interference as it was constituted only four days back.
During the hearing, senior Counsel J. Ravindran argued that the party wanted those responsible, however high their position, to be held accountable. He said that if the CM or Ministers had any material suggesting a cover-up, it should be submitted to the SIT.
