A bench of Justices MS Ramesh and N Anand Venkatesh dismissed the appeals preferred by the 10 convicts, including S Yuvaraj, the prime accused and leader of a local dominant caste outfit.
Ten persons, who were accused in the murder of Dalit youth Gokulraj, had filed appeals challenging their conviction shortly after they were sentenced in March 2022 by the Madurai Special Sessions Court.
With a view to ensure that justice is seen to be done, Madras High Court judges in the recent past have gone to the ground level to see things for themselves.
Justice MS Ramesh and N Anand Venkatesh said they will visit the Arthanareeswarar Temple in Tiruchengode on Sunday to understand topography of the place.
