The issue pertains to summons issued by the CB-CID in connection with a case registered against Jagathrakshakan in 2016, in view of a directions issued by the Madras high court in a PIL for cancelling orders assigning 1.55 acres of public land in Pallavaram to 41 people, mostly relatives of the MP.
The land in dispute was originally owned by Chrome Leather Company, of which Jagatrakshakan was the then chairman of. In 1982, the then AIADMK government acquired the land under the Tamil Nadu Urban Land Ceiling & Regulation Act. Later, MGR announced that the land would be used for water resources and laid the foundation stone in 1984. It is alleged that Jagatrakshakan illegally removed the foundation stone, recommended to the competent authority to allot the land to 41 people who were either his relatives or employees. The allotments were made in June 1996.

Aggrieved by the summons, the MP moved the high court seeking to discharge him from the case and quash the summons. While state public prosecutor A Natarajan said further appearance of the accused is required to clarify certain aspects of the case, the judge said, “The probing agency can only request the accused to answer queries and not compel them to give an answer. It would amount to extraction of statements by force.”
The judge then directed the prosecutor and advocate-general Vijay Narayan to file their detailed counter by next hearing.
