Hearing the plea, Justice G R Swaminathan said that considering the current Covid-19 pandemic situation, this court was inclined to grant relief to the petitioner since he undertakes to remit a sum of Rs 30,000 to the bank account of a government higher secondary school at Lakshmiapuram, Periyakulam in Theni district.
The judge said that this amount would be an unconditional payment and would not be refunded. The judge further observed that, “The amount shall be utilised for the library of the school. Theni principal district judge (PDJ) shall personally monitor the utilisation of this amount. The PDJ will ensure that all books that meet the needs of the students are purchased. The books should motivate and inspire children.”
