Subsequently, Justice Ragupathy resigned from the commission.On October 1, the court passed an order officially winding up the commission and directed the state to initiate criminal prosecution if prima facie case is made out. Subsequently, from March 2015, the commission became defunct in view of a court order passed on the pleas moved by Karunanidhi, Stalin and Duraimurigan assailing the proceedings of the commission.After three years, the case was once again taken up for hearing by the single judge who censured the government for spending over Rs 2 crore on the defunct commission. CHENNAI: In a reprieve to DMK president MK Stalin , the Madras high court on Thursday quashed a government order for a Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) probe into the alleged irregularities in constructing the new secretariat complex in Omandurar Government Estate here.The probe which was initially handled by the Justice R Ragupathy Commission was transferred to the DVAC through an order dated October 24, as the Tamil Nadu government decided to wind up the commission after facing reprimand form the high court.Originally, the probe was initiated against the then chief minister M Karunanidhi, deputy chief minister Stalin and then PWD minister S Duraimurugan. As Karunanidhi passed away on August 7, investigation against him was dropped.Subsequently, Stalin and Duraimurugan moved the high court challenging the government order for the DVAC probe against them.Moving the pleas on behalf of the petitioners, senior counsel P Wilson contended that materials and evidences gathered by the commission could not be used against them for a DVAC probe as it was barred by the Commissions of Inquiry Act.Concurring with the above submission, Justice Puspha Sathyanarayana declared that the GO was not valid as the probe was purely based in the evidences gathered by the one man commission.A pet project of Karunanidhi, the secretariat complex was built in Omandurar estate, only to be converted into a multi-super-speciality hospital by former chief minister J Jayalalithaa after she returned to power in 2011.In 2011, the AIADMK government handed over the investigation to the Ragupathy Commission.
