Madurai: Madras high court has transferred to CB-CID the investigation of a case in which several people including four advocates attempted to usurp the properties of a man living with learning difficulties in Madurai district. The court was hearing the bail and anticipatory bail petitions of people who were either arrested or are apprehending arrest in the case.

The man living with the disability was the son of Chennai residents Vasanthakumar and Padmini. After Padmini died in 2009, Vasanthakumar married a widow, Rajeswari, a resident of Madurai in 2014. Rajeswari already had a son, Senthilkumar, and a daughter, Meena, who were married and settled.
Vasanthakumar had acquired properties at Chennai and Madurai and had transferred them to Rajeswari and his son living with learning difficulties. Vasanthakumar died leaving Rajeswari and his son as legal heirs to the properties. The man became an orphan after Rajeswari died in 2017. Since he had inherited huge properties, Senthilkumar and Meena, with the help of advocates Sulaiman Basha, Purushothaman, Muthukumar and Gopinath entered into a conspiracy to usurp them.
After the paternal aunt of the man came to know about the attempt to usurp his properties, she lodged a complaint at the Oomachikulam police based on which a case was registered against several people on March 21 this year.
Justice P N Prakash observed that all the accused suddenly got galvanised and created records to make it look as if Senthilkumar and Meena were the true legal heirs of the properties by excluding the man who was the only legal heir to the properties. Armed with the legal heirship certificate, the group went about disposing of the properties one by one.
The judge said the materials collected by the police so far show that the advocates had not merely tendered legal advice, but even participated in the deals and also purchased some of the properties. During the sale transaction, differences cropped up in the group and the matter exploded. The judge said Meena and her husband who are currently taking care of the man were also part and parcel of these illegal activities. Taking into consideration the gravity of the offence and that the properties in Madurai and Chennai were sold illegally, the judge dismissed the bail and anticipatory bail petitions and transferred the case to CB-CID.

Madurai: During their childhood, the daughters of R Chellammal aspired to be in the medical profession seeing their mother toil day in and day out as a nurse, who was even awarded for her service to TB patients. Though they couldn’t become doctors, three of the four daughters have been carrying the mantle dutifully as nurses, that too in the Covid-19 ward of Government Rajaji Hospital (GRH) in Madurai.

Amudha, 52, Muthumeena, 50, and Dhavamani, 48, have all been serving as staff nurses at GRH for more than 15 years. So when the pandemic struck in March, they did not hesitate to be at the forefront. “I was the first to be on Covid-19 duty. I had two weeks duty when the first death in Tamil Nadu, of a 56-year-old man from Anna Nagar occurred. Those initial days were challenging as we were among the first ones to take care of Covid-19 patients and feared for our safety,” said Amudha. Two weeks ago, Muthumeena and Davamani were also together on duty in the Covid-19 ward for a week.
Working in PPEs was quite a challenge, but more importantly, the sisters found that Covid-19 patients needed more mental support which they provided by talking and interacting with them. In the absence of attenders, the patients had to rely only on them. After spending seven days of mandatory quarantine after the duty, the two sisters were relieved to see that they tested negative for Covid-19. “We were satisfied with the job we had done and we got together and returned to our houses in Pechikulam. To our surprise, people living close by were all praise for our services and gave us a warm welcome. Initially, people were afraid of anyone coming from GRH and used to view us with disgust. We can’t be happier now,” said Amudha.
“Our mother was a retired nursing superintendent who passed away a few years ago. She was the one who inspired us to become nurses. She spent more time at work than with us,” said Amudha. For Muthumeena and Davamani, both their mother and Amudha herself have been idols who pushed them to take up nursing. Amudha was posted in the cardiology wing while Muthumeena was in family planning department and Davamani in laparoscopy department at GRH. “While we did our best as nurses in our respective areas, nurses were not always appreciated for their service. However, now it is heart-warming to see people support us,” said Muthumeena. All three sisters are married and have children as well. Their 85-year-old father S T Ramanathan is also dependent on them while their fourth and eldest sister, 57-year-old Dhanalakshmi, is a homemaker. Amudha’s daughter inspires to fulfil her mother’s dream to be a doctor and is set to attempt NEET to pursue MBBS.
