Chennai:Former DMK minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi on Wednesday moved the Madras High Court with an appeal against the denial of bail to him by the Special Court in the multi-crore school approval scam.
Senior Advocate P. Wilson made an urgent mention on behalf of Anbil Mahesh before Justice V. Lakshminarayanan and sought an expeditious hearing. The judge observed that if the registry formalities and numbering procedures were completed during the course of the day, the petition could be taken up for hearing on Thursday.
A special court for Corruption cases in Chennai on Tuesday dismissed the bail petition filed by Mahesh noting that the second accused Muthukumar surrendered only after the arrest of Anbil Mahesh and there a prima facie case is made out based on the confessions of the private school managements.
The former minister was arrested on October 26. Special Court judge L.S. Sathiyamurthy, who rejected the bail application, accepted the prosecution’s argument that granting bail to an influential person like Anbil Maheh would hinder the investigation. Considering the intensity of the charges and that the investigation is at the preliminary stages, the bail application was rejected, the court said.
