Madras High Court quashes money laundering proceedings against former DMK Minister Ponmudy, son Gowtham Sigamani
Madras High Court has dismissed money‑laundering charges against former DMK minister Ponmudy and his son Gowtham Sigamani. The bench, headed by Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan, ruled the proceedings invalid since the petitioner had previously been cleared in the related red‑sand quarrying case. The ruling ends the investigation, citing the earlier acquittal as removing the basis for the allegations.
