The police had charged him under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including those related to cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy.

The trial court had, in 2021, discharged him from the particular charges of forging documents to grab the land. However, the Anti-Land Grab Cell filed a review petition in the Madras High Court, seeking to reverse the trial court’s order, while Alagiri filed a petition to be discharged from all charges.

Justice Velmurugan found a prima facie case in the police’s arguments and allowed their petition, reinstating the charges related to forgery. Simultaneously, he dismissed Alagiri’s plea seeking a full discharge from the case.
