CRL OP(MD). No.19574 of 2019

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would point out that the petitioner was in close touch with the main accused. The main accused is still absconding. Investigation is still pending. Of course, the students who wrote the examination were granted bail by this Court and the parents of the students had come out on statutory bail. But then on that score, the petitioner cannot now claim any relief. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would also point out that the petitioner had paid the examination fees for two of the candidates in respect of whom impersonation was committed.

5. Taking note of all these aspects, I am not inclined to grant relief and the criminal original petition stands dismissed. sd/- 03/01/2020 / TRUE COPY / / /2020 Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.) Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai - 625 023.
