Order CBI probe in TVK MLA bribery case and other horse trading complaints, insists a PIL plea before Madras High Court
A public interest litigation has been filed in the Madras High Court demanding a CBI probe into an alleged bribery attempt involving a TVK MLA. The petitioner argues that the current police investigation is politically motivated and improperly handled.
Why it matters
Allegations of political horse-trading and jurisdictional manipulation in police investigations raise concerns about judicial and administrative integrity.
A public interest litigation petition has been filed in the Madras High Court seeking a CBI probe into TVK MLA N. Elayaraja, representing Uthangarai constituency, having been reportedly offered a bribe of ₹35 crore to vote in favour of a proposed resolution against Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar.
The plea has been listed for hearing before the first Division Bench of Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan on Thursday (July 16, 2026). Advocate J. Balasubramani of Tiruppur had filed the case claiming to be not affiliated to any political party but only interested in a fair and impartial investigation.
