The New Indian Express|June 01, 2024
REFUSING to set aside the conviction of a woman, a coaccused, in a disproportionate assets case filed against her husband, a former police officer, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has observed that corruption starts from home and if the home-maker is a party to corruption, then there won't be any end to it.
