The Supreme Court of India has instructed the Registrar General of the Madras High Court to provide a report concerning allegations from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) regarding a judgment delivered by Justice T. Mathivanan. The CBI claims that while a single-line order was issued on May 15, 2017, the detailed judgment was only made available after the judge's retirement on May 26, 2017. This case involves the quashing of a corruption case against an IRS officer, with accusations of asset accumulation exceeding Rs 3.2 crore during his tenure. The Supreme Court has requested specific dates regarding when the detailed judgment was received and uploaded, as well as whether any administrative direction for a re-hearing of cases by Mathivanan was issued. This scrutiny is not unprecedented, as the Supreme Court had previously set aside a judgment by Mathivanan due to similar concerns about post-retirement rulings. The situation raises questions about the integrity and procedural compliance of judicial actions following retirement.
