Ex-clerk, 63, gets jail for bribery after 16-yr trial
Trichy: After 16 years of trial, a 63-year-old retired clerk was sentenced to three years imprisonment for collecting bribe from a teacher to arrange for govt benefits. T Rengarajan from Thirumeni worked as a clerk at a govt aided high school in Thiruvanaikoil around 16 years ago. A graduate teacher named N Mariappan joined the school in 2008. In Sept 2009, Rengarajan, then 47, sought a bribe of Rs2,000 to provide salary and govt benefits to Mariappan as the sixth pay commission was yet to be implemented. Reluctant to pay bride, Mariappan complained to the directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption. DVAC officials caught the clerk red-handed when he was accepting the bribe amount on Oct 1, 2009. The trial went on at the special court for prevention of corruption act for nearly 16 years. On Wednesday, special judge V Puviyarasu found Rengarajan guilty and sentenced him to three years of rigorous imprisonment, and a penalty of Rs5,000. He was directed to undergo simple imprisonment in case of penalty default.

Avadi sub-registrar, bizman booked for usurping Rs 2 crore government land
CHENNAI: The Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) has booked a former sub-registrar of Avadi for allegedly helping a real estate businessman fraudulently register government poramboke land worth Rs 2.34 crore in his relative's name in 2021. An FIR was registered last week under the Prevention of Corruption Act and sections of the BNS against S Maligeshwari, who is currently serving as Arani sub-registrar, and businessman V Somasundaram. The case pertains to a government land in Poonamallee block of Tiruvallur. In August 2021, Somasundaram prepared a settlement deed to show he was gifting two plots – measuring 8,720 sqft and 3,014 sqft and classified as government poramboke land – to his brother. The document was registered by Maligeshwari at the Avadi sub-registrar office, the DVAC said. The agency alleged that Somasundaram bribed Maligeshwari to process the registration without verifying original pattas and other revenue records to ensure the executing party had rightful ownership. The poramboke land in question had no supporting parental documents or legal ownership records, the DVAC said.
