Maran brothers approach HC seeking to quash framing of charges in telephone exchange case

Former communications minister Dayanidhi Maran and his brother Kalanithi Maran have again approached the Madras High Court on Friday seeking to quash the fresh charges framed against them by the trial court in the illegal telephone exchange case.

They claimed that guidelines were not followed by the trial court at the time of framing charges in the case.

When the matter came up before Justice Jagadish Chandira today, the judge directed the petitioners to approach Justice Anand Venkatesh who had passed orders in connection with the above matter on January 29.

The CBI Special Court on January 30 framed fresh charges in the illegal telephone exchange case filed by the CBI against Maran brothers and others after a detailed order was passed by the high court.
