"Kanchi SP's complaint against Gurumurthy"
Chennai, March 9: Kanchipuram District Superintendent of Police, SP Premkumar said that he has filed a complaint against journalist S. Gurumurthy with the Institute of Chartered Accountants.
Auditor S. Gurumurthy writes articles in the newspapers from time to time. He wrote some articles regarding the arrest of Jayendra [Swamigal] in the Sankarraman murder case.
In connection with this, Kanchipuram police registered a case against him. Gurumurthy filed a writ petition requesting cancellation of this case in the High Court.
In this regard, Premkumar has filed a response petition in which he [ie Premkumar] said:
"Our intention is not to take revenge on Gurumurthy. He cannot claim special rights since he writes articles for the newspapers [journals]. Gurumurthy, although an auditor, writes articles for newspapers without the permission for the Institute of Chartered Accountants. Opposing that, I have given a complaint in the Delhi Institute of Chartered Accountants against him.
The Constitution gives the freedom to express themselves to everyone. But Gurumurthy is not exempted from actions being taken against him on the basis of Indian Criminal Code sections.
There is wrong publicity spread that I am acting unlawfully in the Sankarraman murder case. The writ petition filed by Gurumurthy should be dismissed," said Premkumar. This case is coming up for hearing on the 14th of this month [ie. March 14].
