Leena Maria Paul denied bail in Rs 200 crore scam case by SC; cites health issues
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actress and model Leena Maria Paul has faced a legal blow as the Supreme Court dismissed her bail plea in the Rs 200 crore financial fraud case tied to notorious conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Leena, who is a co-accused in the case, sought bail on health grounds, claiming she has been suffering from tuberculosis and has been imprisoned for over three and a half years. According to Asianet News, the Supreme Court, however, refused to intervene at this stage, citing that her bail application is already under consideration by the Delhi High Court. The bench noted that it would be inappropriate to entertain her plea while the matter is still pending before the lower court. The court directed her to approach them again, if necessary, after the High Court delivers its verdict.

However, the court emphasized procedural discipline and instructed her to wait for the outcome of the ongoing High Court proceedings. The actress had highlighted that she has been in judicial custody since 2021 and is suffering from a chronic illness, which she believes should be considered a valid ground for bail. Despite these arguments, the top court remained firm on not bypassing the due process already in motion.

As a tribute to Tamil poet, writer, and public speaker Nandalala, who died on March 4, the Tiruchi Corporation has adopted a resolution to rename Thirunagar 3rd Main Road in Karumandapam after him. During the council meeting here on Friday, Mayor M. Anbazhagan highlighted Nandalala's literary contributions and his book on Tiruchi. He said the loss was not only to his family but to the entire people in the city. The resolution said the road would be renamed as 'Thirunagar Kavignar Nandalala Main Road' as a tribute to the poet who was deeply involved in the literary and cultural circuit in Tiruchi. A letter was sent to the Additional Chief Secretary to the Government for the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, and permission had been obtained for renaming the road. All the councillors supported the resolution. Meanwhile, a section of councillors urged the Corporation to remove references to caste identities in street names and install new street name boards.
