SC rejects plea against cases filed by T.N. police

By Our Legal Correspondent

NEW DELHI JAN. 11. The Supreme Court has dismissed a special leave petition from the wife of a businessman alleging that the Tamil Nadu police had filed "false and frivolous'' cases against her husband at the instance of the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, and praying for a CBI inquiry.

A Bench, comprising Justice S. Rajendra Babu, Justice P. Venkatarama Reddi and Justice G.P. Mathur, dismissed the petition, which was directed against an order of the Madras High Court rejecting her plea.

In August 2001, the apex court while declining to entertain a writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution gave the petitioner liberty to move the High Court, which later dismissed her plea.

The petitioner, Saeeda Irfana, submitted that there was ample proof of ``registration of false cases'' against her husband and his brothers and that cases had been registered against them for illegal and extraneous consideration. Claiming that the ``transcripts and tapes'' of the conversation among officials of the Chief Minister's office, police officers and her husband, P.K. Salahuddin, were enclosed in the petition, she prayed for quashing the FIR and for a direction to order a CBI inquiry.
