Senior lawyer R C Paul Kanagaraj, representing students and parents who did not get the seats despite paying money, opposed the offer, demanding that the money be returned to the students.
Four days after the arrest of T R Pachamuthu, founder-chairman of SRM Group of Institutions, a senior counsel representing the group has told the Madras High Court that his client is willing to deposit Rs 69 crore in the court — an amount allegedly collected from the parents of 111 MBBS aspirants promising them medical seats in SRM Medical College.
However, senior lawyer R C Paul Kanagaraj, representing students and parents who did not get the seats despite paying money, opposed the offer, demanding that the money be returned to the students. The source of the money should be probed, said the court.
