Justice M. Sundar of the Madras High Court, who delivered a split verdict in the 18 AIADMK MLAs’ disqualification case, has received an anonymous letter threatening to do away with his family. On coming to know of it, Chief Justice Indira Banerjee immediately spoke to A.K. Viswanathan, Commissioner of Police, Chennai, and made sure that the puisne judge and his family were provided with additional guards round the clock. The judgment sent ripples across the State, since he differed with the Chief Justice and penned a dissenting judgment, setting aside the disqualification.
