Supreme Court Bench to hear its submissions in detail on September 23
The Justice (retired) A. Arumughaswamy Commission, which is probing the hospitalisation and death of former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, told the Supreme Court on Thursday that only four witnesses remained to be examined, and that the panel should be allowed to complete its work and submit its report.
A Bench, headed by Justice Abdul S. Nazeer, assured the Commission, represented by senior advocate Ranjit Kumar, that its submissions would be heard in detail on September 23.
The court stayed the proceedings before the Commission in April 2019 on a petition filed by Apollo Hospitals in Chennai — where Jayalalithaa died in December 2016 — that the Commission’s functioning was “replete with bias”.
