Madras high court grants advance bail to Dr Ambedkar Law University's ex-VC
The FIR and the alleged offences lack prima facie materials to draw any nexus between the evidence collected and annexed by the prosecution.
Chennai: The Madras high court has granted anticipatory bail to P. Vanangamudi, former vice chancellor of Dr Ambedkar Law University, who apprehended arrest in connection with a case registered against him for allegedly amassing huge wealth by corrupt and fraudulent manner, disproportionate to his known sources of income. Justice, A.D. Jagadish Chandra granted anticipatory bail to Vanangamudi on the condition that he should appear before the Investigation Officer daily at 9 am and 6 pm for a week.
He should surrender his passport if any, the judge added. In his petition, Vanangamudi submitted that he has been fixed by his rivals with an ulterior motive. The entire complaint was a fabled fact and the same was concocted to the core.
The complaint was manifested and the same has been lodged only to harass him. The FIR and the alleged offences lack prima facie materials to draw any nexus between the evidence collected and annexed by the prosecution to show that he has indulged in such activities. The report does not say about the collection of any incriminating materials, it simply narrates the allegations against him and other accused persons, he added.
