HC refuses bail to owners of T Nagar shop

Sending out a warning to building violators and lax regulators alike, the Madras High Court on Friday refused anticipatory bail to the owners of Saravana Stores in T.Nagar, and wanted CMDA and corporation officials to be included as accused in the case relating to the fire mishap in the mall earlier this week. Rejecting the advance bail plea of the owners of Saravana Stores, Yogarathinam and Rajarathinam, Justice R Regupathi said it was pathetic to note that the investigation had not proceeded in the right manner as the involvement of officials was not being probed. Meanwhile, the first bench, comprising Chief Justice A K Ganguly and Justice F M Ibrahim Kalifulla, requested former Judge of Madras High Court Mr.A Ramamurthi to visit T Nagar and ascertain the extent of encroachments there.
