Karur Stampede: TVK’s Bussy Anand Withdraws Anticipatory Bail Plea

Bussy Anand, general secretary of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), withdrew his second anticipatory bail plea before the Madras High Court in the Karur stampede case. The withdrawal followed the Supreme Court’s transfer of the case to the CBI, rendering the plea unnecessary. The Court noted that since the investigation was no longer under state police, the bail plea had become infructuous. This order underscores judicial coordination between state and central agencies and the proper procedural course when investigation jurisdiction changes.
