Retired judge Justice A Arumughaswamy

CHENNAI: Retired judge Justice A Arumughaswamy, appointed by the Tamil Nadu government to probe the circumstances and situations leading to the hospitalisation of late chief minister J Jayalalithaa and subsequent treatment provided till her demise in December 2016, submitted his report to chief minister M K Stalin on Saturday.
The report is in three volumes. It runs into 500 pages in English and 608 pages in Tamil.
“The chief minister has given instructions to place the report as an agenda in the cabinet meeting scheduled on August 29 for appropriate action,” said a government statement.
Law minister S Regupathy and chief secretary V Irai Anbu were present when Justice Arumughaswamy presented the report to the chief minister.
The tenure of the commission, which was constituted on September 25, 2017 by the previous AIADMK regime, ended on August 24, 2022, after repeated extensions by the successive governments.
The commission was one of the key demands of the former chief minister O Panneerselvam for the famous merger with the Edappadi K Palaniswami-led faction.
