Madras HC Orders CB-CID Probe Into Suspicious Dealings and Lawyer’s Alleged Misconduct

The Madras High Court has ordered a Crime Branch-CID probe into suspicious land deals in Chennai involving JMI Law Associates, an online law firm, landowners and buyers. 

The case concerns a ₹7.25 crore land dispute in Mylapore. Landowners MA Noor Jehan Beevi, KA Shaik Madar, and Abdul Hassan entered an agreement to evict encroachers and sell the land but later sidelined JMI Law Associates.

The firm, allegedly run by a non-lawyer, is accused of misleading advertisements and illegal partnerships.

Justice AD Jagadish Chandira has directed a special team, led by an SP-rank officer, to investigate financial transactions and professional misconduct allegations.
