NEW DELHI: The DMK government of Tamil Nadu on Monday requested the Supreme Court to order resumption of inquiry by Justice (retired) A Arumughaswamy Commission into the correctness, adequacy and inadequacies of treatment of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa, who breathed her last in December 2016 after 75 days of treatment at the Apollo Hospital.
The work of Arumughaswamy Commission of Inquiry, which was set up on September 25, 2017 by the AIADMK government, was stayed by the SC on April 26, 2019 on a petition by Apollo Hospital which alleged that the commission was biased against the hospital, as was evident from the manner in which it was conducting its proceedings and giving statements.
