Lawyers to be raided on proof of malpractice

Petitioner Baskar Maduram a lawyer from Madurai had stated that during the election every candidate has planned to spend at least Rs 4 crore. “They plan to give Rs10,000 to Rs 30,000 apart from properties like bikes for every vote. So, a flying squad under a Judge should be appointed to monitor the election,” prayed the petitioner. 

Judges N Kirubakaran and R Tharani directed the I-T dept to carry out raids if they find any proof of money distribution and also directed the govt prosecutor to get opinion from the Indian Bar Council to appoint a team headed by retired Judge to monitor it. Next hearing has been posted to February 5.
