Case Summary: CMP.NO.1320/2025 This document records the deposition of witness K. Periyakumaar (age 66) before the District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate at Tirupporur on 13 October 2025. The witness, a resident of an apartment complex in Mambakkam since 2019, testified regarding multiple regulatory violations by the building's management and respondents. The witness alleged that the apartment complex violates environmental and construction norms, including: operating a wastewater treatment facility without required pollution control board approval (resulting in a ₹71.70 lakh fine), improper maintenance causing sanitation issues, unauthorized dumping of waste in nearby villages, and inadequate fire safety certification renewal since 2019. He further claimed respondent K. Sivagnanam (a former housing committee chairman and bank manager) abused his official position to facilitate these violations and subsequently retaliated against the witness for filing RTI requests and objections to irregularities—including passing a defamatory resolution against him on 23 August 2025 and circulating it to 1,875 residents to damage his reputation.
